Cybersecurity is a major challenge in R&D: sensors, vehicles, gateways… Protecting your connected systems is vital for your data and products.
With the growing number of threats, cybersecurity has become a critical issue for connected systems. Sensors, connected vehicles, gateways… all are potential targets. Protecting these ecosystems is essential to safeguard data privacy, ensure regulatory compliance, and preserve the integrity of your product assets.
R&D facing cybersecurity challenges
R&D teams face new cybersecurity challenges: meeting strict regulatory requirements (CRA, NIS2…), adapting to specific standards (IEC 62443…), combating industrial espionage, ensuring data integrity, and managing regular software updates. In this context, cybersecurity skills remain scarce, and for obvious economic reasons, the balance between protection and cost must be optimized every day. Smile offers tailored solutions!
