PSA Certified: Making Secure Digital Transformation a Reality

The industry is at a turning point in security. The PSA Certified 2022 Security Report revealed business leaders have placed security at the top of the priority list and are committed to addressing the lag between the rate of digital transformation and the speed of securing the ecosystem.

As the ecosystem prepares to tackle underlying security concerns, research shows that there are some barriers to overcome. In particular, cost remains a barrier to implementation - physical costs, the cost of security experts, and the price of independent evaluation.

Arm first introduced the concept of a IoT security framework in 2017 and is a co-founder of PSA Certified – a framework and an independent third-party evaluation scheme to build-in the right level of device security.

PSA Certified has scaled to become one of the fastest growing, most valued security ecosystems, globally, and continues to break down the barriers to security. Arm remains an active co-founder of PSA Certified and is heavily involved in providing architecture specifications and security resources.

Four Steps To Ease Security Design

The PSA Certified framework was created to help ensure security is designed into a device from the ground up. The four PSA Certified stages guide security implementation for each specific use case:

  • Analyze: the evaluation of assets and assessment of threats to define specific security requirements.
  • Architect: the security design based on identified security requirements.
  • Implement: the process of bringing together hardware and firmware using open source firmware implementations.
  • Certify: assurance that products adhere to security requirements and the 10 security goals outlined by PSA Certified.

Check out this white paper for an in-depth explanation of PSA Certified and an overview of the four stages.
