The Impact of Being PSA Certified in the IoT Security Market

Sep 30, 2020

On this episode of The Six Five – Insiders Edition Patrick Moorhead and I are joined by Rene Haas who is President, Intellectual Property Group (IPG) at Arm.. He is responsible for all IPG activities including product development, engineering, sales, marketing, and commercial operations — a huge undertaking for this burgeoning company.

 

Our conversation covered several aspects of digital transformation in the IoT industry including changes that companies are making as a result, along with Arm’s role and commitment to security across the market. We also dove into the importance of being PSA Certified — a standardized framework for securing connected devices — and what that means in the marketplace.

 

The Impact of Being PSA Certified

 

Our conversation with Rene also revolved around the following:

 

• Why security is fundamental in the IoT industry and what is driving IoT security today.

 

• How IoT security impacts all parts of the industry — consumers, OEMs, the software ecosystem and SIPs all feel the impact of security in some way.

 

• The role Arm plays in helping clients navigate the tricky IoT security market including how Arm’s DevSummit is helping solve the challenges that these clients face.

 

• A deeper understanding of what it means to be PSA Certified, how it is driving industry collaboration around IoT, and why it’s a unique framework.

 

Understanding PSA Certified

 

IoT devices are commonly used access points to attack a network and the impact of these increasingly common hacks is felt throughout an organization from ruined reputations to productivity losses and ultimately financial strain. Developing devices with security built-in, is a game changer for consumers, OEMs, and anyone who employs IoT devices. PSA Certified establishes a standardized security framework to be used during the product development process that allows companies to get to market faster — the ultimate goal in digital transformation.
