[{"type":"text","content":"-- Integrated Security Protects Connected Products, Data and Intellectual Property Against Evolving Threats --\n\n\nAUSTIN, Texas, March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB) announces Secure Vault technology, a new suite of state-of-the-art security features designed to help connected device manufacturers address escalating Internet of Things (IoT) security threats and regulatory pressures. Silicon Labs' Wireless Gecko Series 2 platform takes advantage of Secure Vault by combining best-in-class security software features with physically unclonable function (PUF) hardware technology to greatly reduce the risk of IoT security breaches and compromised intellectual property. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"The security landscape is changing rapidly, and IoT developers face increasing pressure to step up device security and meet evolving regulatory requirements,\" said Matt Johnson, senior vice president and general manager of IoT product at Silicon Labs. \"Secure Vault simplifies development, accelerates time-to-market and helps device makers future-proof products by taking advantage of the most advanced integrated hardware and software security protection available today for IoT wireless SoCs.\"\nSecure Vault's hardware features provide an optimized level of security implemented in a cost-effective, wireless SoC solution. The security subsystem, including a dedicated core, bus and memory, is separate from the host processor. This unique design of hardware separation isolates critical features, such as secure key store management and cryptography, into their own functional areas, making the overall device more secure. The new combination of security features is ideal for companies working to address emerging regulatory measures, such as GDPR in Europe and SB-327 in California.\n\"Embedded security is a key requirement for IoT products, and software updates alone cannot address all vulnerabilities present in insecure hardware,\" said Tanner Johnson, senior cybersecurity analyst at Omdia. \"As a result, hardware components can comprise the front line of defense for device security, especially with new legislation targeting IoT product security.\"\nSecure Vault advances IoT security through a unique combination of hardware and software features that make it easier for product manufacturers to protect their brand, design and...
