Security News > 2021 > September > Fighting the Rogue Toaster Army: Why Secure Coding in Embedded Systems is Our Defensive Edge
Embedded systems - typically written in C and C++ - will be in more frequent use as our tech needs continue to grow and change, and specialized security training for the developers on the tools in this environment is an essential defensive strategy against cyberattacks.
MISRA is a key organization that is in the good fight against embedded systems threats, having developed guidelines to facilitate code safety, security, portability and reliability in the context of embedded systems.
They form the functioning core of the embedded systems codebase, and Embedded C/C++ enjoys a shiny, modern life as part of the connected device world.
With anywhere from a dozen to over one hundred embedded systems in a modern vehicle, it's imperative that developers are given precision training on what to look for, and how to fix it, right in the IDE. Protecting embedded systems from the start is everyone's responsibility.
