The issue of embedded Multimedia cards versus Solid State Drive (eMMC vs SSD) can be a consideration for PC or laptop storage, the designers of embedded systems requiring the storage of relatively large volumes of (local) data may be pondering the issue too. Both are solid state technologies. But which would you use, where and why? eMMC To set the…
In part 1 of this securing embedded memory blog, we considered how your data is at risk and concluded that security needs to start at the hardware level. And as your IIoT’s data resides in memory, that’s the best place to start. Isolation through partitioning is key to securing embedded memory. Partitioning is also great for achieving higher reliability and…
SSDs are increasingly popular as a method for storing data, but they also open up the risk of cyberattacks. Secure erasing them is ideal for optimising PC performance, but also necessary for critical applications in case of attacks or data breaches. Thanks to an innovation from Flexxon, not only this security problem, but also multiple other issues created by using…
The modern world is heavily data-oriented and is reliant on technology that provides easy, fast and secure access to high volumes of data. In the past, hard disk drives (HDDs) were relied on for storage. Increasingly, Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are used. They provide much faster access than HDDs and, as they have no moving parts, reliability is much higher. Solid…
