Embedded E-cast

Retail system breaches continue to grab headlines with millions of consumer records exploited and hundreds of lawsuits filed. What lessons have we learned from the most recent breaches such as Target, Niemen Marcus and others? What role can the OEM take to address future breaches? New PCI DSS v 3.

Economic realities dictate that "new" distributed systems are almost never entirely new creations. Existing capabilities which cannot be readily duplicated at minimal cost are often necessary and even critical components of otherwise new systems.

From modernizing legacy systems to designing new industrial and consumer connected products spawned by the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), embedded developers are faced with new challenges for their devices where connectivity, scalability, security, and future-proofing are required along with the continual pressure to reduce costs, risks, and time-to-market. .

The future of automotive will feature vehicle to vehicle communications for enhanced safety and the ability to integrate personal mobile devices into the car to provide improved information and a better entertainment experience. The benefits and convenience are significant but whats the impact of this increased connectivity? Is it possible for a security hole or rogue application on your cell phone to get into the power train in your car? What are the critical software security issues, best practices and mitigation techniques automotive developers need to know? Join us as embedded security experts discuss the unique requirements and security issues within an automotive environment.

Today's SoCs are ever increasing in complexity with features such as multiple cores, multiple clusters, heterogeneous compute, coherency, DVFS and multiple architectures. Traditional hardware debug solutions fail to address the entire SoC space and this is where a customized debug and trace solution targeted at your SoC is essential for hardware debug, software development and performance analysis.

Smaller, compact electronics are being required more and more for vetronics, avionics, unmanned system payloads, missile systems, command and control systems, radios, and other military applications. Mostly because modern processing technology enables system designers to replace legacy systems with as much as 10 times the performance in the same size footprint.

There are many things that can go wrong in the modern data center today. When it comes to virtualized environments, what do you need to be able to restore? Just a file? Maybe an entire VM? What about a SQL record, email message or Linux application? Join Expert Rick Vanover from Veeam for this webinar to explain how restore options can deliver Availability for the Modern Data Center(tm).

Odds are good that your data is extremely important to you. Now consider how one secures that data.

Many of the safety standards specify a number of 'objectives' or 'requirements' that need to be met. We will discuss these objectives and look at various ways in which they can be implemented and documented as well as highlighting the processes, procedures, risks and tools used to achieve safety-critical software certification.

Todays business services and operational components are typically distributed with no centralized repository which can result in prolonged service outages. Incorporating external vendor technology and managing integration of open source software can also cause service outages beyond the companys control if not managed properly.

The Internet of Things (IoT) trend promises to connect the smallest of sensors, the broadest range of consumer electronics, to the largest of information delivery systems. As Internet connectivity has pushed its way down the complexity chain the price, performance, and bandwidth requirements for internet connecting these devices becomes a critical issue, as has the ever growing attack surface presented by the enormous number of unprotected and/or insecure devices.

Is your communications-related company becoming larger and more distributed? Having a hard time setting consistent processes company-wide? If organizational growth is not managed effectively, both company-wide and with external vendors, break-downs are inevitable resulting in service outages or even more catastrophic results. Integrated Architecture is a solution to this industry-wide challenge, providing a means to manage the processes within your organization.

Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) program managers want their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) payloads to see further at lower weight and in more compact packages than previous designs. Multi-mission payloads involving radar, signals intelligence, multi-spectral, hyperspectral, and other sensors are requiring intensive signal processing capability next to the sensor in the payload to get around the data link bottlenecks and filter important data before it is sent to the ground.

Reliability concern of Flash Products is getting serious since Flash doesn't equal to magnetic mass storage. Comparing with HDD, SSD has ultra-high performance.
