Developers, learn how to create secure code. This course will teach you the essential secure coding principals for C/C++, along with the technical details of buffer overflows, and much more.

Today, embedded devices are all around us–in kiosks, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, ATMs, medical equipment, and more. For far too long, however, protecting the integrity of these devices and the sensitive information they contain has been an afterthought. McAfee(r) Embedded Control enhances embedded device integrity, maximizing uptime, reducing support costs, and helping to ensure compliance throughout the lifecycle of your devices.

Software is fast becoming the differentiator for manufacturers of medical devices. Software is also becoming more voluminous and complex, which creates significant risk. To complicate matters even more, software components used in medical devices fall under regulatory scrutiny.

Model-based development and testing are revolutionizing industry sectors like automotive and aerospace, but the models themselves (as well as the modification and testing of those models) are still disconnected from the overall development lifecycles. Disconnected modeling represents a critical risk to the organization.

The escalating volume and complexity of software in the systems and components of today’s vehicles is a staggering challenge and it will only continue to grow. Software is not only an opportunity for innovation and differentiation – it is a source of risk that can broadly and deeply affect the success of the entire organization because in many ways the software defines the experience of the customer who uses the vehicle.

The adoption of Linux in the communications network infrastructure space is very evident. A carrier grade operating system platform brings tremendous benefits for the entire service life of a deployed system, but, as they say, “getting there can be half the battle.” Getting the system developed and debugged for deployment in time for the market window is essential. The quality and depth of the development tools available have a big impact on an organization’s ability to design, implement and test an application quickly and efficiently.

The 2nd generation Intel(r) Core(tm) processor family brings huge improvements in processing power, graphics performance and power consumption. Further enhancements to power and a smaller footprint make it the ideal choice in 2011 for upgrading nearly all existing x86 platforms. But what is it exactly that makes the new processors so attractive?

Driven by the thirst for 3D gaming in consumer electronics, current graphics processing units (GPUs) have evolved into powerful, programmable vector processors that can speed up a wide variety of software applications. These “general-purpose GPUs,” as they are known, are no longer limited to the consumer market. They are making their entrance into the embedded market with the arrival of the new AMD Embedded G-Series platform.

As embedded software becomes more mobile and connected, organizations must take additional steps to ensure their code is secure. To accomplish this goal and combat ever-changing security threats, software engineering teams need to incorporate threat modeling, combined with updated tools and processes into their development plans.
