Webinar Details
From the earliest stages of hardware and firmware development, engineers will need to consider secure boot, secure update mechanisms, and encryption as default — and it also affects the selection of processors, operating systems, and third-party libraries, since components that lack long-term support may become non-compliant by default. This session is the engineering deep-dive: how to architect CRA-compliant embedded systems from day one. Topics include hardware roots of trust and secure boot implementation, secure OTA firmware update design, SBOM generation and vulnerability management workflows, and more.
