Icon Labs now offers a full suite of offerings to protect RTOS based devices.

First Embedded Security Solution Designed to Integrate with Enterprise Management Systems and Security Information and Event Management systems. (SIEMs).

April 2, 2014 – San Jose, CA – EE Live – Icon Labs (www.iconlabs.com), a leading provider of embedded networking and security technology, today announced a full suite of offerings that can provide an umbrella of protection for RTOS based end points. This cross platform Intrusion Detection and Prevention runs natively in a wide range of RTOS-based devices found in military, utility, industrial, medical and consumer IoT applications. 

“Currently, RTOS based devices are invisible to the enterprise management system, but visible to hackers”, said Alan Grau, CEO of Icon Labs. “Our solution turns that all around – making them visible to the management system and invisible to hackers.”

In addition to protecting from a wide range of cyber-attacks, the SIEM integration provides monitoring and reporting of attacks upon the network to enable managers to help identify and track the source of the attacks.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention is provided through RTOS specific threat detection and advanced packet filtering. This set of solutions provides protection from both internal and external threats whether malicious or accidental. Capabilities include:

 

    • Detection and reporting of authentication failures
    • API that enables protection and monitoring of device specific attack vectors. 
    • Static/rules-based filtering of ports, protocols, IP addresses, etc.

 

 

  • Stateful Packet Inspection that filters packets on the state of the connection
  • Threshold-based filtering which monitors packet flows to block packet floods.
  • Detection of port scans and probes, which frequently indicates an impending cyber-attack.
  • Protocol specific deep packet inspection for industry specific application protocols. 

 

Enterprise connection is provided through optional extensions to connect and manage your RTOS devices from enterprise policy management systems such as the US Dept. of Defense, HBSS. Both security related and device specific events can be captured and logged for reporting to a variety of corporate SIEM (security information and event management) systems. 

For ease in integration and development, Icon Labs also provides professional services capabilities to facilitate unique implementation projects and product development. User interface from simple command line to web to corporate policy management systems can be customized to specific engineering design requirements.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
