The connected device ecosystem has become the infrastructure of our daily lives, powering homes, hospitals, grids, and factories. But as connectivity grows, so does exposure. Attackers are shifting focus to the embedded systems that quietly run our world, targeting firmware, update paths, and weak supply-chain links. At the same time, regulators are raising the bar with requirements like the EU Cyber Resilience Act, making security not just a best practice but a mandate.

This talk will highlight how developers and manufacturers can adopt practical, repeatable security practices that reduce cost and complexity while raising the baseline of trust for billions of devices.

The devices we design today may still be in service ten or twenty years from now. Now is the time to ensure they are resilient enough to withstand the evolving threats for the road ahead.
