Securing Embedded Linux Devices: Pitfalls to Avoid

About This Training

The pressure to reduce time to market for embedded devices often means that security does not receive the attention it deserves.

As customers demand more secure products and as reports of new vulnerabilities surge, security must be front and center in our product design and maintenance processes.

Join this session to explore the proven best practices for designing and maintaining secure products, common security pitfalls and tips for hardening embedded Linux devices.

This session is part 1 of a 6 part series called Secure by Design. Look for future webinars in this series and learn best practices and key insights for designing and developing more secure embedded systems using NXP processors.

What You Will Learn

Evaluating security features in NXP processors, Linux kernel and other Open Source Software components to meet product security requirements
Avoiding common security pitfalls including: incorporating third-party software with unknown vulnerability exposure; not running static code analysis tools to find potential vulnerabilities; failing to address security in design stages to meet end-product requirements and certifications; not adequately hardening devices; running ineffective security maintenance and update processes
Leveraging open source security measures including: “Secure by Design” OS features: secure boot; chain of trust; device encryption; OP-TEE; secure key storage
Hardening devices including: access control; secure open source software configurations; login and port controls; secure IoT device network connections; IoT device authentication
Maintaining security including: vulnerability monitoring and remediation; secure OTA updates to address vulnerabilities in the field; security audit logs, key revocation and security auditing
