Security for Mission-Critical Applications

Most of the world’s computation will occur on the intelligent edge by the year 2030.

Machines will connect, sense, predict, and comprise a significant portion of the U.S. economy by then ($7T) for industries as diverse as industrial manufacturing and aerospace and defense.

This puts new and undiscovered challenges in front of us. With tens of billions of devices processing vast arrays of data across the intelligent edge — in motion in near-latency-free time — this data will be both immediately valuable and potentially vulnerable. Threats will need to be handled within a more dynamic process.

Security is foremost among those challenges. Imagine the complexities of designing security protocols in this new and evolving world. More than half of technology leaders see multiple security concerns directly connected to digital transformation initiatives, including increased cybersecurity risks (53%), cybercriminal sophistication (56%), and increased threat surface (53%). These threats are compounded by another concern shared by 40% of CISOs, CTOs, and CIOs: namely, the problems caused by rigid technology infrastructure — the sort of infra- structure tightly associated with embedded systems.1

Wind River®, the leader in mission-critical intelligent systems, is bringing together some of the foremost thinkers in cloud, cybersecure data, and the future of security. Listen as they plot a pathway to the future in a mission-critical intelligent systems world.      

Listen to four globally respected security, governance, and cyber experts as they plot a pathway to a successful future where safe, secure, and cyber protected are common design elements in successful intelligent systems.

This summit will bring together some of the leading thinkers in cloud, cybersecure data, and the future of security. You’ll also participate in a “speed networking” session where you can meet other attendees with similar interests based on your profile.

WHAT TO EXPECT:      

  • Expert presentations on the security risks and opportunities of 5G, how to bake-in security resilience for the future, and the importance of security metrics

  • Discussion panel of globally respected security, governance, and cyber experts

  • A "speed networking" session with peers and leaders with similar interests

  • Access to new executive research from Forbes: Characteristics of Intelligent Systems, March 2021

  • An exclusive offer for a limited number of security audits for VxWorks® customers
