Containerized, cloud-enabled, and compliant: embedded DevSecOps at scale

Status: Coming up in April 2025!

As embedded systems evolve and development scales across teams and geographies, maintaining quality, security, and compliance becomes a serious challenge. Manual workflows and fragmented toolchains no longer meet the demands of modern product development, especially when time-to-market and regulatory readiness are critical.

In this session, we’ll explore how engineering teams are implementing DevSecOps best practices to automate embedded CI/CD pipelines, reduce risk, and deliver secure, high-quality software, whether deploying in cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments.

You’ll learn how containerized, cloud-enabled workflows help:

  • Support compliance with standards like ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304 using TÜV-certified tools
  • Integrate secure boot, encryption, and IP protection directly into development pipelines
  • Adopt architecture-agnostic toolchains across Arm, RISC-V, and more, minimizing vendor lock-in
  • Enable CI/CD automation using familiar tools like GitHub, GitLab, Kubernetes, and containers

Whether you're building safety-critical devices or scaling across multiple product lines, this session offers real-world strategies that embedded software teams are using today to modernize, secure, and accelerate development across any deployment model.

Enabling TrustZone Without the Complications

Status: Available Now

Arm's TrustZone technology, available on Arm application processors for many years, was released for microcontroller cores a few years ago and is now becoming common in the leading microcontroller vendor product lines. While TrustZone provides some very valuable and relatively simple technologies for securing embedded systems, once enabled, it can be significantly difficult to set up and manage. This talk will focus on what TrustZone is, and how IAR's security add-on tools can enable a secure boot based system using TrustZone to be implemented simply while utilizing all of the features afforded by the new technology.
