As the need for cybersecurity evolves, platforms must also evolve quickly to fight cyberattacks during start-up, real-time operation and system updates. If you are designing secure systems, the equipment used in these systems must be armed to fend off a multitude of potential threats. You need to investigate new technologies that will secure your systems at the hardware and firmware level.

Our platform and component root of trust solutions ensure cyber resiliency for end equipment. They go beyond NIST 800-193 Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) guidelines by providing runtime firmware protection that anchors the secure boot process while establishing an entire chain of trust for the system’s platform. Their device and firmware attestation features provide trustworthy evidence that will ensure that the device is authentic. The advanced Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) hardware cryptography engine verifies the signature and/or digests the code before execution. This ensures that the system only loads and uses the firmware that you want, protecting the system from malicious code.

Our portfolio is best suited for data center, storage, telecommunication, networking, industrial and automotive applications.
