Safety & Security.

Our expertise in the area of safety & security.

Nowadays, functionally safe products are usually networked and therefore require a particularly high level of protection against cyber risks due to normative requirements.

As a leading development service provider in the field of embedded security and the first company in the world whose development process for functionally safe products has been certified at the highest level of maturity, embeX combines expertise from both areas and offers combined certifications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508) and SL 4 (IEC 62443).

Your advantages with embeX.

  • Functionally safe and secure devices from a single source
  • Maximum certification success thanks to tyres and flexible safety development process (Maturity Level 5 according to TÜV Rheinland)

Development services.

In addition to the normative requirements, it must be taken into account in the product definition that with a higher security level (SL) of a component such as a controller, fewer protective measures are required through external measures. As system considerations always require intensive coordination with the end user, embeX advises on the cost-benefit analysis of improved security safeguards, where further system components and the coordination of these are not required.

The certified embeX development process covers both safety and security requirements and is made available to customers for adaptation on request.

Synergies arise in the development of safe and secure products, as both areas place high demands on the diligence of development and predictable behaviour. Get in touch with embeX if you need to weigh up the balance between a number of conflicting safety objectives on a project-specific basis.
