9 BILLION new MCU devices

built and deployed every year

Microcontrollers

(MCUs) low-cost, single

chip computers

Fewer than 1% of MCUs are connected today.

Opportunity Risk

What happens when you connect

a device to the internet?

“The internet is this caldron of evil.” Dr. James Mickens, Harvard University

“When smart gadgets spy on you: Your home life is less private than you think”

“Protecting Your Family: The Internet of Things Gives Hackers Creepy New Options”

Everyday devices are used to

launch an attack that takes

down the internet for a day

100k devices

Exploited a well known weakness

No early detection, no remote update

Mirai Botnet attack

Attackers gain access to casino

database through fish tank

Entry point was a connected thermometer

Once in, other vulnerabilities were exploited

Gained access to high-roller database

Hackers attack casino

No manufacturer wants to make insecure devices

Terrorists Ignite Thousands of House Fires with Hacked Stoves

How will you respond when your devices are

compromised or under attack?

I don’t feel like this question is perfect – couldn’t remember exactly what we said in the hallway…

You’ll try to keep the hackers out of your device.

But, what will you do if they get in?

The internet security battle.

We’ve been fighting it for decades. We have experience to share.

Security is foundational

It must be built in from the beginning.

Some properties depend only on hardware support

Unforgeable cryptographic keys

generated and protected by hardware
