Overview A web dashboard serves as the “front panel” for an embedded product — whether that product is a rack-mounted industrial controller, a bike-mounted GPS tracker, or a battery-powered soil-moisture sensor buried in a greenhouse bed. Because the dashboard is delivered over plain HTTP(S) and rendered in any modern browser,…

The Internet of Things has shaken up our lives, connecting everything from smart homes to massive industrial systems in a pretty smooth way. Sure, these tech upgrades make our day-to-day so much easier, but they have also brought some real concerns about security and privacy. With billions of IoT devices…

The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) applications is a key integrated circuit (IC) market driver. As these internet-connected technologies become increasingly smaller, complex, and energy-intensive, advanced power management ICs are exponentially important. Factoring in potential energy reliability issues due to heightened demand emphasizes this situation’s urgency.  Thanks to its…

As we understood the foundational principles for designing and reviewing endpoint security controls in Part 1, we also covered key topics such as standardizing and enrolling approved devices and operating systems, enforcing strong authentication and centralized identity management, and validating trusted network access.  We explored endpoint configuration hardening — including…

In the current era of nearly ubiquitous computing, security threats are growing, especially for large organizations that have to maintain complex networks and safeguard sensitive data. While this complexity has also led to the proliferation of a wide range of tools available to organizations to boost network security, a foundational…

In the contemporary era, the exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) has shifted the digital terrain. As these two technologies improve further, their amalgamation offers remarkable opportunities for developers to create more innovative, efficient, and highly adaptive solutions across industries. However, the actual value…

How Hackers Bypass Lateral Movement Detection (And How to Stop Them) Detecting lateral movement has emerged as a crucial cybersecurity challenge today. Attackers who breach network perimeters follow a five-step process. They start with reconnaissance, move to their original compromise, spread laterally, establish persistence, and finally achieve their objectives. This…

Introduction As of 2023, it’s estimated that 42 billion cumulative Wi-Fi enabled devices have been shipped (Wi-Fi® by the Numbers: Technology Momentum in 2023, n.d.). Every new device adds to the increasing wireless attack surface, and it's important for anyone working in the security software industry to have a basic…

An Overview of IoT Devices and FOTA IoT devices are a combination of hardware and software which are programmed to collect and transmit the data over to the internet, other networks, or a variety of applications. There are various categories of IoT devices such as sensors, actuators, machines, gateways, and…

In data-driven applications, the rise of stream processing has changed how we handle and act on data. While traditional databases, data lakes, and warehouses are effective for many batch-based use cases, they fall short in scenarios demanding low latency, scalability, and real-time decision-making.  This post explores the key concepts of…
