Runtime security code embedded into IoT chip

EDN Network - Fri, 01/31/2025 - 14:27

A lightweight runtime security code embedded into a system-on-chip (SoC) for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. That’s the outcome of a collaboration between MediaTek and Italy-based embedded IoT security firm Exein. EE Times’ Editor-in-Chief Nitin Dahad spoke to Gianni Cuozzo, founder and CEO of Exein, to know more about this collaboration that ensures security is an integral part of the development process rather than an afterthought.

Cuozzo, who founded the company in 2018 to address the emerging mandatory cybersecurity regulations, claims it’s the world’s first integration between a chip manufacturer and runtime security software. He also claims it’s the lightest runtime agent available, whether running at the edge or the cloud.
