Safety & security.

Our expertise in the area of safety & security.

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

As a leading development service provider in embedded security and the world's first company whose development process for functionally safe products has been certified at the highest maturity level, 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 noted in the product definition that a higher security level (SL) of a component, such as a control system, requires fewer protective measures through external measures. Since system considerations always require intensive consultation with the end user, embeX advises on the cost-benefit analysis of improved security measures that do not require additional system components or coordination.

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

The development of safe and secure products creates synergies, as both areas place high demands on the diligence of development and predictable behaviour. Contact embeX if you need to weigh up the balance between a variety of conflicting security objectives on a project-specific basis.

We accompany you from the initial idea to the finished system – and beyond. Take the first step and get in touch with us.
