Forget Everything You Know About Cybersecurity

On average, all complex software contains up to 50 bugs per 1,000 lines of code. So, it’s no surprise that nearly every cyberattack relies on exploiting a software vulnerability. Today’s cybersecurity solutions focus on building defensive software around networks and applications to protect our embedded systems. Rather than securing the system, this approach actually increases a system’s vulnerability by adding yet another layer of inherently flawed software. As a result, companies and individuals are left even more exposed.

Meet Coreguard

CoreGuard silicon IP provides separate, sentry logic that acts as a bodyguard to the host processor, monitoring every instruction executed to ensure it complies with a set of security, safety, and privacy rules. If an instruction violates an existing rule, CoreGuard stops it from executing before any damage can be done.

Industrial industries are undergoing a rapid transformation. The evolution of sensor technology coupled with advancements in machine learning and analytic capabilities have created an unprecedented opportunity to optimize processes and improve profits. Ensuring those systems are protected from cybersecurity threats is a top priority – which is why I am thrilled to be on Dover’s advisory board as they will play an integral role in securing the Industrial IoT revolution.

My experience over several decades of research on cybersecurity has convinced me that a robust solution to the cybersecurity threat must involve a holistic design in which the hardware uses metadata to systemically enforce software-defined security policies. Dover Microsystems provides such a solution which makes it a unique and robust offering in today’s market.
