Establish System Trust Chain With Our Platform Root of Trust Microcontrollers


The rapid expansion of connected products has compelled developers of data center, 5G, communication, networking and industrial equipment to seek new ways to keep their hardware, firmware and operating systems secure and uncompromised. Security threats are increasing exponentially—in frequency, targeted devices, malignancy and costs of attacks. In today's vast interconnected world, the need to provide greater security within a product or system is becoming a standard requirement.
