Infineon Security Partner Network Implementing security has never been easier www.infineon.com/ispn
New business and revenue opportunities The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at a rapid pace. According to market research conducted by IDC, by 2020 the IoT will connect 4 billion people, network more than 25 billion embedded and intelligent systems and exchange some 50 trillion gigabytes of data. In this dynamic new climate shaped by smart factories, smart homes and connected cars, many organizations are rethinking their offerings and business models as they integrate into widening ecosystems and new value chains. The market is thus seeing rising investments into intelligent IoT technologies.
Overcoming security challenges in the IoT However, embedded system security often lags far behind connectivity and networking technologies. Especially for companies that did not typically specialize in security, the IoT is presenting a new and increasingly wide attack surface. Manufacturers struggle to protect sensitive data, intellectual property (IP) and even business continuity. In fact, many companies have not identified their concrete needs in this area. These are both complex and varied depending on the business model and application in question as well as the value that needs to be protected.
Winning combination Infineon created the Infineon Security Partner Network (ISPN) to reduce the complexity of building security into IoT. The ISPN acts as a hub for security players, bringing them together and delivering security solutions to providers of connected devices and applications. The ISPN was inspired by Infineon s belief that strong partnerships and networks are the key to effective and reliable security in a heterogeneous environment such as the IoT, where needs can vary from one region to another. In other words, end-to-end security that is tailored to individual, local needs and budgets can be best delivered through the power of partnership. The ISPN aims to Help device manufacturers and applications providers to better understand threats that can undermine their business Relieve companies of the need to invest heavily in security know-how and infrastructure Propose end-to-end, easy-to-integrate security solutions bundling several solution layers Help customers implement ready-to-run security solutions in order to harden their applications and devices against today s and tomorrow s threats

How does it work? ISPN is a place where providers of connected devices and applications can quickly and easily find security solutions delivered by experienced players with proven track records. These players rely on semiconductor technologies from Infineon to deliver application- or market-specific security solutions that extend along the full value chain. As such, the ISPN bridges the gap between Infineon with its proven hardware-based security technologies and device manufacturers looking to implement those technologies into connected devices or IoT applications. This synergy will benefit countless manufacturers across manifold industries. Take, for instance, manufacturers of home appliances such as fridges or washing machines. In the past, these companies had no security expertise; now they need to build digital intelligence into their equipment and they are looking for easy ways to do this.
Partners selected for their expertise and industry excellence ISPN partners are security experts selected for their competence and proven experience in a specific area. They demonstrate their know-how and capabilities through tangible use cases that reflect real-world needs. In line with these use cases, they design and deliver off-the-shelf or custom-built solutions and secure devices for specific applications ranging from smart homes and connected cars to industrial automation and information & communication technologies (ICT).
