Defense in depth your embedded systems
Security is part of our product development life cycle. Instead hunting the bugs we can put in place a number of defense mechanisms that will protect our products from unknown and future possible attacks. That is a reactive approach and less prioritized today in the Security Development Lifecycle process. In the talk, I will cover several examples of defense in depth mechanisms that security architects and development teams can embrace to improve their FW security. I will show that even if those mechanism aren’t available out of the box like in common OS, there are still things to do and will explain how to approach when we design those.
