Managing mixed IoT fleets can be a big challenge for development teams. There are a number of friction points that present opportunities for rogue updates and bricked devices, all of which can cripple operations and expose sensitive data. At Zymbit, we understand these challenges. In fact, our engineers have been building a solution to address them head-on.
Introducing Bootware 1.0…
We’re excited to announce the release of Bootware 1.0 for Zymbit Secure Edge Node and Secure Compute products. Bootware delivers a unified set of software tools and microservices engineered to make your IoT infrastructure resilient to compromised updates and bricked devices.
THE UNIFIED SECURITY STACK FOR IOT
Designed with Two Priorities in Mind:
- Simplified Edge Management: Gain consistent control over your unattended devices from a single, intuitive security framework. This eliminates the complexity and risk of integrating disparate tools and simplifies deployment, updates, and monitoring.
- Resilience & Availability: Deploy and manage updates frequently, with confidence. Bootware’s robust security architecture mitigates common risks and ensures long-term functionality of your devices.
Bootware 1.0 Features Include:
-
- Secure Updates with Rollback: A/B updates with cryptographic isolation guarantee the authenticity and integrity of firmware updates. Even in the event of a compromised update, a built-in rollback feature supervised by secure silicon ensures a smooth recovery, eliminating the risk of bricking your devices.
- Encrypted File System & Kernel: An encrypted filesystem and kernel safeguard sensitive data, intellectual property, and credentials from unauthorized access. Additionally, keys are stored in secure silicon, minimizing the risk of exposure through physical attacks.
- Verified Updates: Signed images and updates ensure that all firmware updates originate from a trusted source and haven’t been tampered with.
- Seamless Integration: Bootware integrates seamlessly with popular operating systems like Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu, ensuring a smooth transition for existing deployments. It also offers a simplified upgrade path across various Raspberry Pi models.
- Scalable Security: Bootware offers broad compatibility with Zymbit’s hardware security module, compute module and edge node products, allowing you to choose the best solution for your specific needs.
- Products Supported: Bootware 1.0 supports Zymbit Secure Edge Node and Secure Compute products. Support for ZYMKEY4 will be available in Bootware 2.0 (coming soon).
Bootware 1.0 is Now Available to Select Customers.
