Star Lab Announces Capability to Secure Critical Data on Embedded Systems At-Rest and During Runtime with Kevlar Embedded Security
Washington D.C — June 3, 2024 — Star Lab Corp®, a global leader in delivering technology protection and embedded security solutions for mission-critical systems, announced their new capabilities for Kevlar Embedded Security: a Yocto Project-based security solution for Linux-based systems at the intelligent edge.
The new capabilities protect critical data and applications at-rest and at runtime, addressing threats from multiple commonly used attack vectors. Leveraging containerization isolation, Kevlar Embedded Security ensures a protected container cannot be accessed or inspected, ensuring critical data used by a container also stays protected. The at-rest protection, which includes full disk encryption and automated key generation and management, ensures data cannot be compromised while a device is powered off. For additional security during boot time decryption, Kevlar Embedded Security now provides thorough integrity verification to ensure that, if data was somehow modified at rest, it will not be used at runtime.
As more connectivity is pushed to the edge, devices contain increased amounts of data to include personally identifiable information and intellectual property. Physical access to these devices presents an attack vector that can be leveraged to gain access and obtain critical information.
Ease of integration for these capabilities is critical. Star Lab remains focused not only on providing cutting-edge security for embedded systems, but also on ensuring that implementation is seamless and timely. Kevlar Embedded Security provides easy-to-use tools that ease the implementation of security policies, saving time and expertise while easily integrating into existing DevSecOps environments.
“We’re thrilled to bring these capabilities to market,” Adam Fraser, COO stated. “We know that implementing security for embedded systems can be daunting and time-consuming. Kevlar Embedded Security is inherently designed to allow customers to easily integrate security into their CI/CD without impact to existing processes or need to become the security expert. It just makes sense.”
Kevlar Embedded Security remains committed to integration with leading commercial Linux providers, to include Wind River Linux.
“With the emergence of ubiquitous connectivity at the edge, the threat landscape is changing rapidly, and possible attack vectors are increasing,” said Michel Chabroux, Vice President, Product Management, Wind River. “With Star Lab’s Kevlar Embedded Security, Linux systems, including Wind River Linux, can be hardened beyond what is traditionally available and teams can better construct a multi-layer security approach to address evolving threats.”
Along with these new capabilities, Star Lab also unveils cloud-based evaluation for Kevlar Embedded Security. Evaluation of security solutions for edge devices is often non-trivial and time-consuming. Star Lab’s cloud-based evaluation allows teams to explore Kevlar Embedded Security capabilities quickly and easily.
