IOT SECURITY CONFERENCE PAPER HIGHLIGHTS KEY ROLE OF HYPERVISOR TECHNOLOGY. READING, UK – Monday, 13 October, 2014–Lynx Software Technologies (UK) Ltd. today advised that it is exhibiting and presenting a paper at the Electronics Design Show, Coventry, UK, 22-23 October 2014. It will be focusing on solutions for protecting the fast-evolving Internet of Things, including its LynxSecure Separation Kernel Hypervisor. During the event, Will Keegan, Technical Director, Software Security, Lynx Software Technologies will be delivering a paper entitled "Protecting the IoT network gateway". He comments, "In the past, most IoT endpoints have been connected to closed and proprietary networks. These endpoints are now being connected to each other and to remote machines via the Internet, and are thus exposed to any number of well documented threats. It is vital to ensure the trustworthiness of the gateway between these networks rather than merely protecting the endpoints, particularly in a safety critical industrial setting." In his presentation he will explore the threats to such gateways, suggest suitable architectures of an appropriate gateway to guard against them, and reflect upon the development processes to implement [...]

Lynx Software Technologies shows live demonstrations of the LynxOS 7.0 secure RTOS and LynxSecure 5.2 Separation Kernel Hypervisor BALTIMORE, MD – October 6, 2014–Lynx Software Technologies is exhibiting and demonstrating key security products at MILCOM 2014 in Baltimore from 6-8 October.
