The SentriX security deployment platform enables Noa Leading and OEMs to easily define security profiles and provision microcontrollers and authentication ICs “integrated circuits” at the chip level before shipping the device to the manufacturing line for board assembly. Because the SentriX platform supports many security use cases and is scalable, this capability is available to OEMs with low volume but is also cost-effective for high-volume production.
About SentriX Security Deployment Platform
SentriX secures the global electronics supply chain and protects IoT device intellectual property from point of inception to deployment in the field. Data I/O’s SentriX security deployment platform provisions security objects and secrets into semiconductor devices for low volume prototyping applications and high-volume production. SentriX integrates a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant HSM (Hardware Security Module) into an automated programming system which enables secure provisioning of credentials into security ICs and microcontrollers in high-volume. Data I/O’s PSV7000 and PSV5000 can be upgraded in the field to support security provisioning.
SentriX Product Creator is the software tool suite used by OEMs, silicon vendors and programming facilities to define and collaborate on security features provisioned on SentriX. The SentriX Product Creator tool offers OEMs two flexible security deployment models: fully customizable and SentriX GO™ pre-configured security profiles saving time, effort and avoiding potential pitfalls during security deployment definition. The profile definitions completed using the SentriX Product Creator tool are secure at rest and transferred for device provisioning on the SentriX security deployment platform at a secure programming location. OEMs of any size can now securely provision devices from early samples all the way to high-volume production prior to shipping chips to a manufacturing line using a cost-effective as-a-service model. The SentriX Product Creator is available today.

ATLANTA – The Global Industry Practices Committee (GIPC) has published an Executive Summary with results of two surveys conducted by its core team of subject matter experts (SME) led by Brad Waisanen, VP, Global Cyber Security at TTI, Inc. ECIA member companies were surveyed with the goal of learning how the industry is responding to this serious threat to businesses.
Participants in the first survey represented the three ECIA constituencies as follows: Manufacturers (41%); Distributors (39%) and Manufacturers Reps (20%). The questions covered where organizations were turning to for guidance; whether they had risk management programs in place and for how long; reporting structure of the cybersecurity teams; perceived risks and metrics; costs of insurance; prevention measures and more.
Participants in the second survey represented the three ECIA constituencies in a similar measure: Manufacturers (39%); Distributors (39%) and Manufacturers’ Reps (23%). The questions in the second survey focused on ransomware readiness.
“The results of these two surveys were very enlightening and provide the GIPC Cybersecurity SME with concrete guidance on where to place our efforts going forward,” explained Don Elario, ECIA’s Vice President of Industry Practices. “There were clear differences in how the three constituencies have responded to these types of threats. Not surprisingly, larger companies have more mature cyber risk management programs than smaller companies and we see this as an opportunity for this work group to provide a baseline of cybersecurity best practices, among other initiatives.”
