IAR Enables Robust End-to-End Embedded Security Solution with the Launch of IAR Embedded Trust

With IAR Embedded Trust, customers can easily solve their security problems, uniquely provision devices, and protect from threats at all stages of a product's life-cycle.

IAR is announcing today the launch of IAR Embedded Trust – the most robust end-to-end security workflow in the embedded industry. With this latest release, IAR delivers its promise of “Security Made Simple” by helping customers manage, prioritize, and mitigate potential security problems quickly and easily.

IAR Embedded Trust protects customers’ data and devices through 4 A’s: “Anti-cloning” introduces the concept of unique identification for software applications and device hardware, which prevents counterfeits and over-production in manufacturing; “Active IP protection” with its secure key management ensures applications only run on authorized devices and only after a successful Secure Boot process; “Anti-rollback” includes software update processes and checks that are in place to protect against roll-back attacks and versioning exploits; and “Authentication” with a cryptographic assurance of a device’s identity, its

SAIC launches a new data science platform named Tenjin

The new centralized data science platform enables low-code to full-code AI and ML development to support decision-making.

Science Applications International Corp. (announced the availability of Tenjin, a new low-code to full-code artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) development and orchestration platform.

“SAIC recognizes data management is a critical component for government to achieve digital transformation across the public sector,” said Andy Henson, vice president, Innovation at SAIC. “As many agencies face resource constraints to analyze data, Tenjin offers a low-cost solution to help customers process data with available resources. With Tenjin, professionals at any level can create analytic models with pre-existing data to rapidly gain decision-enabling insights.”

Using Dataiku, Tenjin provides customers protected data and secrets, and running of only genuine firmware and updates, all based on a trust anchor established in every device which cannot be undermined.

Customers can design security from the beginning of their product development to volume manufacturing with unique device provisioning. IAR Embedded Trust is a device-agnostic security solution allowing customers to port their current design to a new microcontroller easily. This helps to shorten development time, as does the reuse of code without starting from scratch while adding powerful security features to the application.

“With this new solution, we massively enhance our product offering and help our custom- ers to master their security challenges and prepare for pending legislations in these areas,” said Tim Woodruff, Deputy General Manager for IAR Embedded Security. “IAR Embedded Trust features advanced capabilities and pushes the boundaries of innovation while addressing security vulnerabilities in product development processes and embedded technology worldwide. It helps developers enhance their security operations and building protection from the product design phase to prevent IP and unauthorized over-production by third-party contract manufacturers. All our efforts aim to ensure that developers can take advantage of Security Made Simple when using IAR Embedded Trust.” with AI and ML model development, training, deployment, automation, data preparation, and visualization. Tenjin increases accessibility and understanding of AI and ML to empower enterprises to build their path to mission-focused solutions. The platform provides government customers with focused capabilities to address common problems such as fusing disparate data types or extracting meaningful information from files.

“Dataiku is the leader in collaborative, full life-cycle data science across the enterprise,” said Mark Elszy, vice president of the Public Sector at Dataiku. “Our partnership with SAIC extends these capabilities to mission owners, often in disconnected environments, and enables them to tackle complex AI and ML challenges at speed and scale.”

Tenjin supports full-code technical data scientists and machine learning engineers in a collaborative environment, enabling non-technical users to contribute and understand AI and data-driven decision-making. Tenjin offers extensibility and interoperability with its open architecture and cloud-agnostic, flexible deployment model.

Tenjin natively integrates with the Koverse Data Platform (KDP), a security-first data management and governance platform that provides Zero Trust for data by enforcing attribute-based access controls (ABAC). Through KDP, Tenjin operationalizes the data along with additional security features to produce AI algorithms geared toward government missions in computer vision, natural language processing, and data fusion.

SAIC is the lead integrator on many of the DOD’s critical command, control, communication, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) programs. Tenjin allows personnel at the forefront of missions to access data to help with informed decisions. SAIC was recently named a JADC2 Company to Watch by Frost & Sullivan. The Company was recognized for its expertise in big data analytics, AI, and Zero Trust networking.
