Icon Labs and Renesas Share Design Expertise in New IIoT Security Guide White Paper

What Design Engineers Need to Know to Develop Secure Networked and Web-Connected Equipment

Sept. 08, 2016 – Icon Labs (www.iconlabs.com), a leading provider of security solutions for IoT and embedded devices, today announced a new resource for embedded designers working with Internet of Things (IoT) applications: a white paper focusing on "Device Security for the IIoT". Developed with Renesas Electronics America Inc. (www.renesas.com), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, as a deep-dive guide for design engineers developing networked and web-connected equipment and solutions, the white paper outlines security requirements for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices and software solutions that are available today for securing these devices.

The IIoT is driving investment in new technology and manufacturing methodologies as companies rush to capitalize on a predicted trillions of dollars of economic gain. Unfortunately, traditional security solutions do not scale down to support the RTOS-based devices that make up the bulk of the IIoT. New solutions and approaches are required for these systems that perform critical functions in factories, the electric grid, transportation infrastructure, and other industrial segments.
