Secure Thingz, a subsidiary of IAR Systems® Group, a global provider of software tools and services for embedded development, is expanding its security solutions product offerings and partner ecosystem with global programming service providers.

SecureThings announced on the 15th that it plans to strengthen its partnerships with the secure programming and provisioning industry and combine the enhanced capabilities gained through this with the newly updated IAR Embedded Trust and Secure Deploy platforms.

SecureThings provides a secure deployment platform for secure supply chain provisioning and production, with embedded trust for rapid development of security and root of trust (RoT) definitions.

By using these solutions together, users can accelerate the secure development and production of embedded Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

EPS Global is a leading programming services provider, working with distributors, contract manufacturers, silicon partners, and OEMs worldwide to support secure programming and provisioning.

Leveraging Secure Deploy, EPS accelerates the entire flow of building a secure supply chain for SecureThings and IAR Systems customers, eliminating the need for encryption between OEMs and the devices being programmed.It enables sophisticated programming and helps prevent malware injection, IP theft, counterfeiting, and overproduction.

“OEMs can now leverage both embedded trust and secure deployment throughout their production process, enabling the entire flow from inception through manufacturing, distribution and updates,” said Haydn Povey, CEO of SecureThings. “We will continue to enhance and expand these solutions through our partner ecosystem to help customers add security capabilities to their embedded applications in an efficient and scalable way.”
