We all know the statistics -- by 2020, it’s predicted that we will use over 50 billion connected devices, over 250,000 unique IoT applications, and $8.9 trillion of new business. Unfortunately, with all of this technology innovation, devices being deployed within IoT systems are still unreliable, unsecure, and unsafe.

The IoT evolution has formed a “perfect storm” for software engineering teams. Existing development processes are no longer sufficient. Teams need to quickly adopt code analysis technologies that can effectively uncover defects that aren’t easily found through testing, such as concurrency issues, hazardous information flows, and many types of security vulnerabilities.

GrammaTech’s IoT Software Assurance Game Plan 

Adequate levels of software integrity suitable for IoT devices can only be achieved if software development teams can eliminate both design and coding errors. Teams can start this transformation by:

1. Mandating the use of source code analysis across development projects.
2. Utilizing binary analysis for 3rd-party and system code analysis.
3. Incorporating software hardening technologies– including software monitors, binary transformations, and more.


GrammaTech helps teams quickly improve quality and software resiliency:

CodeSonar is a certified static analysis tool for source and binary code, reducing development/testing overhead while allowing certified (and non-certified) software to remain on-budget and on-schedule.
Software Hardening Services help teams implement software monitors that provide devices with basic forms of security self-awareness, enabling devices to raise alerts, initiate recovery processes, or shut down to protect critical data.
