Securing Embedded Systems using Threat Based Analysis Methodologies

April  17th
6:00 A.M. EDT
1:00 P.M. EDT

Abstract:

A major challenge facing embedded system developers today is how to secure their internet connected devices. Security is a new concept to many developers but critical to ensuring that their products and customer data remain secure. In this webinar, we will explore the methodologies and techniques that developers need to identify potential security threats and discuss the mechanisms used to protect their device through-out the entire product life cycle.

We will also investigate how the Arm Platform Security Architecture (PSA) can inform your security strategy and the capabilities available in microcontrollers to secure embedded systems using Cypress’ PSoC 64 Secure MCU’s.

Key Take-A-Ways:

• PSA security framework and threat model examples
• How to analyze a device for security threats
• Identifying critical data assets
• Potential security threats
• Defining security objectives
• Methods for protecting device data
• Understanding the security lifecycle

This webinar will be delivered by Jacob Beningo in partnership with Cypress. 

There are two sessions so please make sure that you select the correct session for your timezone!

Transformative Technologies in Test Measurement and Production Line Equipment

April  24th
1:00 P.M. EST

Abstract:

The drive to improve operator efficiency and integrate equipment into larger systems is increasing demand for transformative technologies in test, measurement, and production line equipment.

In this webinar, we will explore major challenges and the transformative technologies addressing these focus areas, including operator enhancing interfaces, cloud and mesh connected devices, and enhanced controls such as AI.:

• Changes facing the test measurement and production industry
• Winning the technology race
• Transformative Technologies
  • HMI
  • Controls
  • Communication
• Implementation challenges
• Design best practices

This webinar will be delivered by Jacob Beningo with Renesas America and Serious Integrated. 

Getting Started With Amazon FreeRTOS

RTOSes have become a critical component in IoT devices to manage the devices real-time behavior. Leveraging a connected RTOS framework can dramatically accelerate development but it can also cause delays and budget overruns if developers don’t understand the frameworks architecture and how to build their application around it.

In this course, we will examine the Amazon FreeRTOS framework and learn how to build an extensible and reusable application architecture around it. We will examine how Amazon Web Services works and the steps necessary to configure IoT edge nodes and handle bi-directional communication with the cloud. Attendees will also learn how about how to optimize their design for size, performance and energy. Each session includes a hands-on lab to help developers get experience with the concepts we discuss during the lectures. We will use Percepios’ Tracealyzer to analyze Amazon FreeRTOS. The course consists of the following sessions:

Session 1 – The Amazon FreeRTOS Architecture
Session 2 – All about AWS
Session 3 – Subscribing and Publishing
Session 4 – Command Processsing, Performance and Optimization
Session 5 – OTA Updates

Bootloader Design Techniques for MCU’s

The ability to update firmware in the field or over-the-air is a critical component in every embedded system. The complexity and the skills necessary to successfully develop the capability to update firmware in the field are often under-estimated and result in buggy updates or bricked systems. The Bootloader Design Techniques for MCU’s Workshop walks engineers through every stage of the bootloader design process and provides hands-on examples and case studies to accelerate the engineers’ abilities and allow them to walk away with the skills and knowledge necessary to implement a bootloader on any microcontroller with any communication interface.

Session 1 – Bootloader System Overview
Session 2 – Bootloader Protocol and Bootloader Design
Session 3 – Bootloader Implementation Part 1
Session 4 – Bootloader Implementation Part 2
Session 5 – Secure Bootloaders and Advanced Techniques
