Cambridge, United Kingdom—November 16, 2021 — Secure Thingz, an IAR Systems Group company delivering advanced solutions to secure the IoT, today announced partnerships in the secure programming and provisioning industry to deliver secure programming and provisioning services at a global scale. These capabilities are coupled to updated versions of Embedded Trust and the Secure Deploy platform.

Secure Thingz provides Embedded Trust for rapid development for security and root of trust definition and the Secure Deploy platform for secure supply chain provisioning and production. Together these solutions enable organizations to accelerate the secure development and production of their embedded IoT devices. EPS Global is a leading programming service provider, working with distributors, contract manufacturers, silicon partners, and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) across the globe in the transition to support secure programming and provisioning. In leveraging Secure Deploy, EPS is enabling Secure Thingz and IAR Systems’ customers to accelerate the complete flow of creating a secure supply chain, enabling encrypted programming between the OEM and the devices being programmed, inhibiting malware injection, IP theft, counterfeiting, and overproduction.
