Tools Overview

This section provides a curated list of tools to help you implement Secure-by-Design practices throughout the product lifecycle. The tools are categorized by their primary function.

A robust toolchain is essential for building and maintaining secure connected devices. The resources listed here cover key areas:

• Threat Modeling: Tools for identifying and analyzing potential security threats early in the design phase.
• Static & Dynamic Analysis (SAST / DAST): Tools for finding security flaws in your code, both before and after compilation.
• SBOM & Supply Chain Security: Tools for generating, managing, and analyzing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs).
• Firmware & Binary Analysis: Tools for inspecting compiled firmware when you don't have the source code.
• Hardware Root of Trust & Provisioning: Technologies for creating and embedding a foundational device identity.
• Configuration & Hardening: Tools for auditing and enforcing secure system configurations.
• PKI & Key Management: Platforms for issuing and managing the digital certificates that underpin device identity.
• Device Lifecycle Management: Platforms that automate device onboarding, monitoring, and end-of-life management.
• Secure Update & OTA Frameworks: Frameworks for building reliable and secure Over-the-Air (OTA) update capabilities.
• Vulnerability & Threat Intelligence: Databases and feeds to stay on top of the latest security threats.
• Security Logging & Monitoring: Platforms for collecting, analyzing, and responding to security events.
