The agreement will enable Green Hills Software to offer Sectigo's Icon Labs Embedded Firewall, integrated and optimised for use with Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY real-time operating system (RTOS) and its embedded high-performance TCP/IP v4/v6 host and router networking stack.
The pairing strengthens Green Hills Software’s internet-connected platform solutions with the expanded networking security required by connected systems that are responsible for critical functions for automotive, industrial, medical, transportation and mil/aero industries.
“Most cyberattacks on embedded systems remain undetected until it is too late. Early detection is critical as it maximises the safety of products while helping to prevent the loss of IP, disruption of services, and attacks proliferating to other portions of the system or network,” explained Alan Grau, VP of IoT/Embedded Solutions, Sectigo. “Green Hills Software’s integration of our embedded firewall with their proven and mature INTEGRITY RTOS will provide customers worldwide with a powerful combination of experience and security technology that sounds the alarm, then stops the attack.”
The INTEGRITY RTOS microkernel architecture is designed for critical embedded systems demanding proven separation, security, and real-time determinism. The operating system’s separation architecture helps manufacturers safely and securely partition software running at different levels of criticality. For critical functions, INTEGRITY assures secure and real-time execution by means of impenetrable partitions that deliver freedom-from-interference and guaranteed system resources.
“Green Hills is pleased to be adding this additional cybersecurity capability to our portfolio of industry-leading foundational security offerings,” said Dan Mender, VP of Business Development, Green Hills Software. “Protecting critical internet-connected solutions is paramount for our customers, and Sectigo’s Icon Labs Embedded Firewall capability extends our customers’ ability to design purpose-built secure solutions in automotive, industrial, medical, transportation and mil/aero markets.”
