Wireless Product Security
Reliable and Secure Connectivity
Layered Security Solutions
There are three layers of security in wireless devices. The first two levels are integrated into the product, with an optional third level that can be added to applications that require extra protection. Our commitment to security goes beyond wireless products. As an end-to-end solution provider, we can help you secure all aspects of your design. Learn more about our security solutions.
Level 1: On-Chip Security
Features like secure boot and the ability to update software Over The Air (OTA) are integrated into the chip.
Level 2: Local Wireless Security
Features that secure the chip’s wireless transmissions include AES encryption and WPA3. Local security features are listed in product data sheets.
Level 3: Cloud Security
Our industry-leading Trust Platform offers a range of options for securing cloud connections.
Vulnerability Response
If a vulnerability is discovered in any of our products, tools, software or firmware, our Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is set up to ensure that the vulnerability is mitigated and communicated responsibly.
