Abstract:
Embedded systems have been increasingly integrated into various aspects of our modern life, from smart appliances to industrial control systems, creating a pressing need for security measures to mitigate potential risks which may arise. This article aims to provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities associated with securing embedded systems, highlighting their vulnerabilities due to limited resources and interdependence. The industry standards and regulations have been playing a crucial role in bolstering the security posture of embedded systems, while also exploring the latest advancements in protection mechanisms.
