Sequitur Labs distributes an IoT platform for designing and building security into embedded industrial or home devices — everything from quality control and surveillance cameras on a factory floor to connected cars and trucks on the highway.
As miniaturization and automated production promote the proliferation of ever smaller and smarter networked devices into everyday commerce and life, the need for tighter protection against compromises must be balanced with the ability to update and enhance the instruction sets of those devices in the field.
Their EmSPARK™ Security Suite provides a firmware OS within the secure area of any Arm-based chipset, with an access control layer, secure execution environment, and API set that authorized keyholders can use to update, reboot or recover devices over the air.
A more recent aspect of their offering is a secure provisioning environment, which allows smart device manufacturers and software design partners to certify the provenance of firmware/software configurations against a shared cloud registry.
