Wind River is a global leader in delivering software for mission-critical intelligent systems.

Wind River is accelerating digital transformation across industries by delivering the software and expertise that enable the development, deployment, operations, and servicing of mission-critical intelligent systems from the edge to the cloud.

Wind River technology is found in billions of products and is backed by world-class services and support and a broad partner ecosystem.

New cybersecurity mandates and stricter supply chain security policies are direct responses to the increasing threat landscape for critical infrastructure systems. Software developers building and deploying Linux platforms for intelligent edge devices and systems are feeling the impact.

A stronger security posture applies to new software designs as well as active deployments, and a full-lifecycle approach to security must be a top priority. Seth Cramer and Arlen Baker of Wind River® discuss the five security best practices for software teams building Linux platforms deploying into the intelligent edge.

5 Security Best Practices for Linux at the Intelligent Edge

There will be an estimated 42 billion connected devices by 2025 (IDC), and each represents a point of entry that can be exploited by a cyberattack. For devices and systems with safety-critical functionality, a security breach can have catastrophic consequences.

Securing your device or system is a complete-lifecycle effort. Threats must be actively monitored, and resolutions must be implemented. Join this webinar to learn why proactive embedded device vulnerability monitoring is a must in today’s interconnected world.

Planning for the Unavoidable: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

The surge in common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) continues, with more than 17,000 already reported this year. A single CVE can disrupt your embedded Linux system, affecting project timelines and deployments.

Join this webinar to learn proactive CVE management, including addressing inherited vulnerabilities, recognizing urgency, and developing long-term deployment strategies.  Watch a live demo to explore a real-life use case.

The Road to Security Vulnerability Identification and Remediation

Join us for an insightful webinar as we delve into the future of embedded systems with a focus on the latest trends and innovations set to shape the industry in 2024. Hosted by Wind River, a leading player in the embedded software domain, this webinar will explore key areas that are driving transformation and shaping the way we approach embedded development. 

We’ll uncover:
• The impact of evolving hardware capabilities, connectivity, and the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in embedded solutions
• The role of containerization in embedded development 
• Wind River's Studio DevOps capabilities that empower developers to build, test, and deploy embedded applications with efficiency and reliability.

Don't miss this opportunity to position your organization for success in the dynamic world of embedded systems, so register now to secure your spot and be part of the conversation that will shape the future of embedded development in 2024 and beyond.

Embarking on 2024: Embedded Trends and Wind River Insights

Containerization revolutionizes software deployment by packaging applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated units called containers. In fact, according to Enterprise Strategy Group research, 77% of organizations state they support eleven to more than twenty containers per hosts in their environments. When applied to embedded systems, this technology streamlines resource-efficient deployment, enabling seamless application management across diverse devices.  Deployment of containers into embedded platforms comes with security risks and attacks including remote code executions, man-in-the-middle attacks, and privilege escalation.  Thwarting these types of attacks necessitates meticulous attention to developer practices and deployment strategies to ensure comprehensive container security. 
 What you will learn:
• Fundamentals of containers and their adoption on embedded systems
• Security risks surrounding embedded container technology
• Tips for securing containers from development to deployment on embedded systems

Secure Your Embedded Containers from Cloud to Edge

Container adoption is on the rise with nearly 80% of organizations planning to use containers for production applications in the next 12 months, according to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). 

However, container security remains the biggest challenge for businesses, with the increase of third-party connections and IoT devices playing a major role in why attack surfaces are growing. 

Join us in this webinar to learn how to conquer your container security gaps, including how to:
• Mitigate the risk of software supply chain attacks
• Use digital twin technology to bolster security
• Compare the value of open source and commercial tools

Enabling Embedded Solutions through Container Technology

Only 8% of organizations have secured at least 75% of their cloud-native apps using DevSecOps (Enterprise Strategy Group).
 
DevOps is enabling faster deployment of more secure software to devices by tightly coupling development and operations functions. However, to ensure security, the DevOps pipeline itself must be secure. At the intelligent edge, mission-critical systems require that security is built into the development process for a true DevSecOps environment.

What you will learn:

- New security approaches for the emerging intelligent edge
- Methods for full lifecycle security for mission-critical systems
- Must-have development tools for security validation
- Lessons learned in the journey to build security into a DevSecOps environment

Security and the DevSecOps Platform: Approaches, Methods, and Tools

Simulation technologies let developers virtually construct and view their intelligent edge design and its function, with little dependence on physical hardware or real deployment environments. Developers can mitigate risk, speed product development, reduce the complexities of testing, and improve overall quality across the development lifecycle — regardless of the application or industry.

Making the right simulation choices at the start can significantly impact resources, cost, efficiencies, software quality, and business outcomes.

Join Wind River  to learn the eight critical factors development teams must evaluate, whether they are choosing and using simulation tools for the first time or evolving to meet new project demands.

What you will learn:
- Use cases for simulation
- Differences between simulating systems, devices, and processes
- Selection criteria for different simulation tools
- How to get started and where to take simulation in the future

Eight Factors for Effectively Using Simulation at the Intelligent Edge

With more than 24 billion edge connections expected by 2025 (GSMA, “The Global Economy,” 2020), it’s no surprise that companies are increasingly prioritizing ways to leverage the intelligent edge. Of businesses engaged today, 1 in 3 cite the intelligent edge as critical to their strategy, and 2 in 3 expect it to be critical within the next 5 years. In this webinar held in partnership with the Open Infrastructure Foundation, we’ll review the findings of a third-party study we partnered on that included 578 responses across France, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.

What you will learn:

- The key drivers behind the intelligent edge. What are the motivations, expectations, and top use cases?
- The top requirements and concerns when deploying the intelligent edge. How should you think about security?
- The role of open source technology and why it’s becoming pervasive. We’ll share some specific open source projects related to the intelligent edge.
