Along with its hardware, Infineon provides an open-source software environment to easily develop and integrate the company's IoT device solutions with cloud-connected services.
IoT Security Circle
Protecting digital identities is fundamental for running data-sensitive applications in machine-to-machine and cloud communication. A chain of trust employing hardware-based security anchors shields digital identities and keys from logical and physical attacks. It also helps to securely connect IoT end nodes including surveillance cameras or connected production machinery with dedicated on-site edge platforms and cloud servers.
In order to meet the needs of various industries, Infineon and the members of the Infineon Security Partner Network (ISPN) develop customized security solutions based upon chip technology. At the 3rd IoT Security Circle in Munich on May 28, 2019, Infineon and its partners will present advanced cloud solutions for a range of IoT applications, from automotive to industrial to mobile.
