Our customer sells systems that can be configured through a web browser. The system was developed as a deeply embedded system on a microcontroller (Cortex-M) purely functional, without considering data security. Now his customer required a "security hardening", i.e. that the cyber security has to be increased. This was to be done with the smallest possible software changes and without hardware changes.
Outcome
Our client’s customer successfully accepted and installed the hardened systems.
