Suojaa datasi kunnolla

SSD-levyt tarjoavat luontaisesti korkean luotettavuuden kaikentyyppisiin sovelluksiin, aina aloitustason kuluttajalaitteista kriittisiin järjestelmiin. Asianmukaiset tietosuojamekanismit voivat maksimoida levyn käyttöiän toteuttamalla ennaltaehkäiseviä toimenpiteitä tarpeen mukaan, kertoo Silicon Motion artikkelissaan.

KEYNOTE: Secure Edge AI


As Edge AI continues to gain momentum in the Embedded industry, it is essential to address its security implications. Many Edge AI applications operate in safety-critical environments and critical infrastructure, where security cannot be overlooked. This presentation explores key threats, relevant regulations, and practical implementation strategies for building Secure Edge AI solutions.

KEYNOTE: Solving the Top 5 Challenges of Bringing your Embedded System to Life


High-complexity, low-volume embedded systems—whether in medical devices, industrial machinery, or energy applications—face a unique set of hurdles on the path from concept to market. In this session, we’ll break down the five most common challenges that threaten schedules and budgets: rapid prototyping, thorough validation and software testing, design for manufacturing, navigating market forces, and managing skilled personnel. You’ll learn how NI’s CompactRIO platform together with CN Rood's market expertise helps teams address these issues head-on—accelerating development, improving quality, and delivering rugged, reliable systems faster. Real-world success stories will illustrate how engineers have used CompactRIO to cut time-to-market without sacrificing performance or flexibility.

Sulautetut laitteet kovassa kyberpuristuksessa – näin laitevalmistaja täyttää uudet EU-vaatimukset

ETN - Technical articleEuroopan unionin uusi kyberkestävyyssäädös mullistaa sulautettujen laitteiden turvallisuusvaatimukset. Kolmen vuoden siirtymäaika ei jätä aikaa hukattavaksi: laitevalmistajien on kyettävä päivittämään ohjelmistonsa systemaattisesti ja todennettavasti koko tuotteen elinkaaren ajan. Miten tämä käytännössä onnistuu?

Kyberjulkaisu varoittaa Alibaban uuden AI-mallin käytöstä

Kun Alibaba julkaisi Qwen3-Coderin – edistyneen avoimen lähdekoodin tekoälymallinsa koodinluontiin – vastaanotto teknisessä mediassa oli pääosin ihailua. Kyseessä on huippumalli: se päihittää useita suljettuja kilpailijoita, ymmärtää valtavia koodipohjia ja kykenee agenttimaiseen työskentelyyn. Cybernewsin päätoimittaja Jurgita Lapienyen mukaan malli voi kuitenkin olla “Troijan hevonen”.
