In other words, device makers should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>have mechanisms to distribute software updates securely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>provide stable and security updates for their devices to immediately deal with discovered weaknesses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>provide automatic updates and notifications to deal with discovered weaknesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CRA from device makers&#8217; perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most device makers that Proekspert is in contact with are (painfully) aware of the upcoming CRA (7\/10). Still, only some are actively working on developing <a href=\"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/secure-firmware-update-solution\/\">next-gen secure software update solutions<\/a> (3\/10) and integrating crypto chips (TPM) into their new devices and\/or developing software infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, device makers sense that the software-level security measures to protect their devices are no longer enough. Devices should have a hardware-level identity and better measures that can mitigate risk of human error, prevent attacks against devices, and prevent the end-user installing functionalities not intended by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) development is a complex process. It is heavily dependent on a specific organization structure&#8217;s complexity, like device- and user permission logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure software updates by Proekspert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Proekspert develops custom secure firmware update solutions. We help device makers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>choose and integrate proper microcontrollers (MCU) and TPM chips that provide device security online over the cloud and even in offline premises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>design and develop PKI and other software infrastructure that help manage device identities and user permissions throughout the business organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>develop a remote solution to provide automated or manual device firmware updates over the cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/secure-firmware-update-solution\/?utm_source=linkedin&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=secure-firmware-update-solution_cra&amp;utm_campaign=11.2022_pro&amp;li_fat_id=7cfc7f43-0e16-46bf-9491-4739f565b7ec#section-contact-form-11132\">Register here<\/a> for a free meeting where we will help you to discover how to improve your device security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proekspert helps device makers prepare for the upcoming CRA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12001,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-device-security"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12000"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12011,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12000\/revisions\/12011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clients.triloogia.ee\/proekspert\/wp-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
