SecureRF vs Symantec Embedded Security: Critical System Protection [EOL] comparison

Securing small IoT devices is difficult. Constrained devices, such as 8-, 16-, and 32-bit processors, lack the computing and memory resources needed to implement legacy security methods. The challenge is magnified by the threat quantum computing poses to classical cryptographic protocols, such as ECC and RSA. Our quantum-resistant security solutions address these issues. Our software development kits (SDK), RTL, and tools are available for a wide range of environments.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) begins transforming entire industries, threats are quickly evolving to target this rich and extremely vulnerable new landscape. With each industry embedding computing and connectivity into a wide variety of devices, such as cars, jet engines, factory robots, medical equipment, and industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs), the consequences of security issues are increasingly serious. Consequences now include physical harm to people, prolonged downtime, and irreparable damage to capital equipment such as pipelines, blast furnaces, and power generation facilities, particularly in the industrial IoT.

Symantec Embedded Security: Critical System Protection is a compact, signatureless security agent designed for devices being built for the collective category known as the Internet of Things. Optimized for embedded systems and resource constrained environments, it can be integrated by device manufacturers or installed post market as part o f your cyber security strategy. Symantec Embedded Security: Critical System Protection provides a host firewall, device and configuration control, file integrity monitoring, intrusion detection, operating system hardening, application whitelisting and automatic sandboxing. It has been designed to run on devices such as industrial control systems, medical devices, automotive telematics and infotainment units, Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Point of Sale terminals (PoS) and other single use devices.
