SBOMs: Essential for Embedded Systems too!

With the recent focus on improving Cybersecurity, the expectation that a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) can be produced, is becoming the norm. Having a clear understanding of the software running on an embedded system, especially in safety critical applications, like medical devices, energy infrastructure, etc. has become essential. Regulatory authorities have recognized this and are starting to expect it as a condition for engagement. Safety critical certifications require this level of information already, it just needs to be shared in a standard format so others can do better risk management and vulnerability analysis, as well. This talk will provide an overview of the emerging regulatory landscape, as well as examples of how SBOMs are already being generated today for embedded systems by open source projects such as Zephyr, Yocto and others.

Zephyr: A Vendor Neutral Secure RTOS Option

5 years ago the Zephyr project was launched at Embedded World, with the vision to deliver the best-in-class RTOS for connected resource-constrained devices, built to be secure and safe. Since then, many companies have collaborated together to create a vendor neutral solution to achieve these goals. The project has actively worked to adopt open source best practices, as well as best security practices. This talk will go into details about the practices Zephyr has adopted, and that other open source projects should consider, as we work to make the endpoints devices of the IoT ecosystem secure.
