Vantiva Launches First Smart Security Camera with Environmental Sensors for Self-Storage Unit Monitoring

Vantiva Peek isn’t just a smart security camera: it is designed for the rugged conditions of self-storage. Peek cameras use Vantiva’s next-gen wireless infrastructure to stay connected in large storage facilities with concrete and steel construction.

Alerts and images are accessed through the Peek app; self-storage operators can choose to use the Vantiva-branded app, customize the app with their own branding, or integrate Peek into their existing renters’ app. In every case, the self-storage provider owns the customer relationship and earns recurring revenue for the lifetime of the service subscription.

Synopsys Advances Automotive Security with Industry’s First IP Product to Achieve Third-Party Certification for ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Compliance

The Synopsys ARC® HSxFS functional safety processors are optimized for high-performance embedded applications. They feature a dual-issue, 32-bit superscalar architecture, with a small area footprint and low power consumption. The ASIL D certified processors come with comprehensive safety documentation including FMEDA reports, and programming support through the ARC MetaWare Toolkit for Safety. Synopsys ARC HS4xFS IP is part of Synopsys’ broad portfolio of processor IP, including the new RISC-V based ARC-V™ Processor IP.

The HSR100 can host map data for mission planning and protect operational software and enables the sharing of software in several ways, including network booting and container orchestration. During missions, the HSR100 functions as a secure, network-enabled data repository. Using open standard Ethernet protocols, it seamlessly captures mission log data, sensor data, and flight test data on the platform. Post-mission, data can be easily transferred from the HSR100 server to another network or server.

CrowdStuck: Lessons from the Outage

By learning from CrowdStrike's experience, the embedded industry can make sure systems are robust and reliable in the face of unforeseen challenges.

Cloud Dependency and Localized Processing

Embedded systems should incorporate localized processing capabilities to ensure that essential functions can continue independently of the cloud. This could involve local data storage, processing power, and decision-making algorithms that do not rely solely on cloud connectivity.

Solid Incident Response Plans

CrowdStrike's response to the outage demonstrated the necessity of having a well-defined incident response plan that can be quickly enacted to mitigate damage and restore services.

The embedded industry should develop and regularly test comprehensive incident response plans, including scenarios for various types of failures (hardware, software, network).

Software Updates and Patch Management

The need for timely updates and effective patch management was highlighted during the CrowdStrike outage. Establishing a reliable and secure method for deploying updates and patches is vital to maintain system integrity and security.

By learning from CrowdStrike's outage and implementing these lessons, the embedded industry can enhance the resilience, security, and reliability of its systems, ultimately delivering better and more secure products to end-users.
