CYBER SECURITY:
SECURING THE EDGE
WHERE DATA IS BORN™
To protect the integrity of vital data, ADI’s cyber security defenses begin at the device level, where the data is born. By rooting identity in hardware, in tandem with cryptography, our security solutions enable a chain of trust from the edge to the cloud.
CYBER SECURITY
Redefining the Secure Edge
Having confidence that data from an edge device is not manipulated or altered in any way is increasingly critical. Validating the integrity of the data at its source enables higher levels of trust, so that customers can be more confident in the decisions they make based on that data.
Analog Devices is uniquely positioned to deliver security at the edge, where the data is born, because our sensor solutions convert the physical, analog world into the digital world. ADI is focused on cyber security because we are embedded in our customers’ IoT systems. We deliver value by protecting the information emanating from our sensors and being shared in the IoT.
Establishing trust in the data at the edge of the signal chain provides users with the confidence they need to scale systems that enable autonomy, safety, and accessibility. Read more about ADI’s cyber security strategy to secure the real world.
Importance of Designing System-Level Security
Optimizing security requires a system-level approach rather than thinking in terms of devices or endpoints. Security can be delivered in a variety of ways throughout the system: within edge devices, controllers, gateways, or further up the stack. Before focusing on the “how” at any given point in the network, focus on questions of “where” and “how much”. Think less about where the threat is and more about where there are opportunities to add effective security with the fewest tradeoffs in power, performance, and latency. A layered approach will result in a superior overall security posture.
See how ADI can help secure the edge in smart factories, critical communications systems for aerospace and defense, and the automotive industry.
In a market that is traditionally slow to change, Industry 4.0 has been embraced at a record pace. ICS cybersecurity standards and guidelines help assess how security is applied in the factory, but don’t provide much guidance on how to implement cybersecurity measures.
ADI’s mission is to enable our customers to more rapidly adopt Industry 4.0 solutions by extending the secure edge and making it easier to implement cyber secure systems. Learn more about how ADI applies cybersecurity to Industry 4.0.
Accelerating Industry 4.0: Extending the Secure Edge in Industrial Control Systems
Analog Devices has a strategy to extend the depth of ICS cyber security as Ethernet is adopted at the edge. Enabling Industry 4.0 requires the factory to adopt new connectivity methodologies. This means that Ethernet has taken, and will continue to take, a larger role in industrial control systems.

Accelerating Industry 4.0 with Time Sensitive Networking and Security
Analog Devices is providing solutions that enable security at the edge of the network that can improve a field device’s security posture to meet security standards. This capability is integrated with a real-time Ethernet multi-protocol switch with TSN features.
Critical Communication Systems are prevalent in the Aerospace & Defense (ADEF) Industry. Applications include military communications, unmanned system data, command & control links, and missiles & smart munitions. Many are mission-critical, saving lives by providing situational awareness and accurately controlling the targeting of various weapon systems. ADI provides embedded security solutions that are easy to use and integrate, with reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP), and reduced time to market (TTM). These are essential features for systems integrators and equipment manufacturers in the design and development of critical communications systems.
Secure, Mission Critical Communications Require a New, Easy to Implement Approach
Ease of use and integration, reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP), and reduced time-to-market (TTM) are essential design considerations to systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that require embedded security solutions for critical communications systems.
Security is suddenly becoming a major roadblock for automakers pursuing the revolution in mobility. Quick security fixes are not an option as they can add complexity, cost, and weight, and still may not solve the vulnerability challenges of the system. Instead, security needs to be designed in from the very beginning and managed over the lifecycle of the vehicle. ADI enables our customers to create next-generation systems that offer the highest level of designed-in security and safety – all qualified to meet the latest standards.
Digital Freedom: Cyber Security that Matters
The endgame in cyber security is to become resilient. This means operating through a cyber incident and returning to normal operations as quickly as possible.
