Securing your Linux platform is a full lifecycle activity — from architecture through design and deployment, and on to decommissioning.

With the increasing number of intelligent devices utilizing open source software (OSS), security vulnerabilities are more prevalent than ever. Unaddressed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) can cause excessive technical debt that ultimately weighs on the success of an embedded project. Unaddressed security vulnerabilities and defects can expose your organization to serious risk, leading to reputation damage, financial impact, and even product failure. Security management is a full lifecycle activity. Embedded software teams must be committed to ongoing threat monitoring, rapid assessment and threat prioritization, and timely remediation.

With 84% of Linux projects carrying high-risk vulnerabilities, do you have a solid security plan and team in place to proactively identify, address, and manage CVEs?
