What's New?

We are back! Season 2 of The Critical Lowdown kicked off again last week, and we have an exciting episode to get us started again!

Last season we predicted that 2023 would be the year of IoT Security, and the first few months indeed show that to be the case. In episode 1, we talk to EPS Global Field Applications Engineer Malcolm Kitchen, fresh from his trip to Embedded World 2023, and take a look at the year ahead for the semiconductor and security industry.

EPS Global has launched a Secure Programming service to address international cybersecurity legislation for internet-connected devices.

EPS Global offers secure provisioning and encryption solutions through its 22 programming facilities, working with IAR Systems to provide an end-to-end solution for implementing security as a foundational capability and establishing a Supply Chain of Trust.
