Meet the DSbD team at Hardware Pioneers Max

Meet us on Stand 27 at Hardware Pioneers Max, the annual gathering of product innovators in IoT and electronics. Dedicated to all engineers, as well as technical and business leaders whose companies are developing IoT devices and systems. Learn more about the Technology Access Programme and see cutting-edge prototype hardware by Arm displayed on stand.

Join us at 11:50 for a panel discussion on the topic ‘Security Challenges for Hardware/IoT Makers’. Dr Ramona Marfievici, Lead Engineer – IoT, Digital Catapult will be chairing the session with guests from Academia and the industry to discuss the current state of hardware security, the most pressing threats on the hardware side and approaches to secure it.

Security Challenges for Hardware/IoT Makers 

Synopsis

Cybersecurity is rising in complexity, with more moving parts to consider. As embedded IoT devices become commonplace in all aspects of our life, staying a step ahead of cyberattackers will require secure-by-design hardware- and software-development practices that consider cybersecurity from all stakeholder perspectives and integrate the inputs into the solution. This panel will discuss the current state of hardware security, the most pressing threats on the hardware side and approaches to secure it.

• Ian Pearson
  Principle Embedded Solutions Engineer, Microchip Technology Inc.
  Short bio: Ian Pearson is a Principle Embedded Solutions Engineer with Microchip Technology Inc. with 25+yrs experience in Embedded Microcontrollers, Networking, Wireless and Systems Design. He was involved in IoT before it was called IoT, running connected MCU’s over Ethernet. He was instrumental in bringing the Microchip Technology Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and LoRaWAN products to market supporting them in many designs across Europe. As IoT evolved and security became a looming challenge he has been an advocate of secure design and vocal in the need to look at IoT as a system rather than isolated elements and take a secure system approach to product development.
• Dr Ramona Marfievici
