The collaboration will deliver exclusive edge
device and edge compute solution platforms, while also speeding
time to market through engineering services
Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) and Arrow Electronics
(NYSE: ARW) announced an engineering services collaboration
to simplify connectivity and security across industrial, smart
building and energy markets.
According to NIST,1 cybersecurity and privacy risks for IoT
devices can be thought of in terms of three high-level risk
mitigation goals, including protecting: device security, data
security, and individuals’ privacy. Arrow will augment
Microchip’s smart, connected, secure portfolio with engineering
services so that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can
decrease their time to market and meet requirements in recent
government legislation2 and NIST IoT security guidelines3.
“Technology, pervasively, is embedded in everything. Every
industry and every system are being fundamentally shaped by
connected edge technology — it is happening in our homes, our work
and our factories,” said Mitch Little, senior vice president of
worldwide client engagement at Microchip Technology. “These
intelligent edge systems are running fundamental and critical
executions, and they must be secure.”
Microchip’s range of secure product features span secure root of
trust, secured communication, crypto authentication, certificate
management, cloud provisioning, data security, encryption services,
secure boot and IP protection.
“OEMs are embracing engineering service collaboration so that
they can augment internal work teams to tackle new technology
integration and reduce risk in areas of certification and
compliance,” said David West, senior vice president at Arrow. “Edge
device and edge compute applications and systems must now be
secured from the sensory layer all the way to the enterprise.”
The first secure end-to-end platform resulting from this
collaboration is the Shield96. This platform enables OEMs to have
the needed security foundation integrated into the reference
design.
