Cerberus Security Laboratories is a business that is firmly focused on delivering leading edge embedded system security for connected IoT devices. Our device security expertise is firmly grounded in the semiconductor industry, where we have many years of experience in the development of highly robust embedded systems that protect sensitive information and we specialise in the delivery of secure embedded platforms that are robust against today's increasingly sophisticated, and increasingly common, attack methodologies. Given the recent explosion in connected and smart devices, which often interface directly with the physical world, we firmly believe that this is an area that cannot be ignored. The potential liabilities and consequent implications of a security breach on all of the companies in the supply chain are wide-ranging; financial, safety, costly product return handling, updates and replacements, even jobs!
