Attend our half-day seminar to learn about Wind River Linux Secure and how to cost-effectively protect your embedded devices from intrusion and attack.

If it's connected, it's vulnerable. It is estimated that there will be 50 billion connected devices by 2020. The rapid growth of intelligent and connected embedded devices is driving an upward spiral in security threats. As a result, companies need to take a more holistic approach to security and are increasingly being required to develop secure devices and systems that protect against today's most dire threats.

In this half-day seminar, we will cover the key considerations in delivering an end-to-end platform approach to embedded device security and share a best-practices approach that can help you cut development time frames and costs, mitigate overall security risks, and transform security from a threat into an opportunity for competitive advantage.

You will learn the following security trends and best practices:

• Why device security is important across all industries. Speakers will discuss examples of security risks and breaches and share strategies on how to address these threats.
• The advantages of commercial open source software and approaches to security.
• How to ensure that multi-processing environments are safe and secure.
• How to extend security certification to your hardware and software environments—significantly decreasing the time, cost, and risk of certifying your new products.

We will also introduce the first commercial Linux to achieve Common Criteria EAL4+ certification (on embedded hardware architectures Intel, ARM, and PowerPC) and show how it is the most comprehensive Linux-based solution on the market for system security.

Please join us in a city near you for this briefing on the latest embedded security issues and solutions.
