This article explains how manufacturers can use the ESP32 ecosystem to build and maintain secure firmware over time, especially in light of new regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act. It highlights tools such as vulnerability dashboards, Long-Term Support branches, and secure OTA updates to ensure ongoing compliance and device security.
Fast and secure device restoration during boot-up is critical for real-time IoT applications like smart lighting. In this article, we explore how to reduce boot-up delays by restoring device state early, directly from the ESP-IDF bootloader.
This guide helps manufacturers of wireless-enabled products based on Espressif modules understand the RED DA (EN 18031) cybersecurity requirements, identify their product’s category, and determine the right path to certification before launching in the EU market.
