When a connected device is compromised, the headlines usually blame "the cloud" or "the network." But the most damaging IoT breaches often trace back to something far closer to the hardware: the firmware. The code running on the device itself - written, structured, and secured through embedded development - is where an attacker's job is either made hard or made easy.

A software company had everything going for it. Its product solved a real problem, customer reviews were positive, and new demos were converting into paying clients. Then, during the procurement process with a large enterprise customer, the conversation changed. Instead of discussing features or pricing, the prospect sent a security questionnaire that stretched over dozens of pages. They wanted documentation, evidence of internal controls, and proof that customer data was being handled responsibly.
