AVOID PRODUCT SECURITY PITFALLS WITH MONTAVISTA’S PROVEN SOLUTIONSThe U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently published its “Product Security Bad Practices” guidance, highlighting critical risks for software manufacturers—especially those in critical infrastructure functions. MontaVista, with over two decades of embedded Linux expertise, addresses these challenges through a robust framework focused on building secure, compliant, and resilient embedded systems. Our CGX Linux platform and MVSecure services are designed to mitigate the risks in product properties, security features, and organizational processes and policies, outlined in CISA’s report. By leveraging MontaVista’s trusted solutions and deep security knowledge, you can reduce your exposure to these bad practices and strengthen your product security.
MEET FDA REQUIREMENTS WITH MONTAVISTA’S MEDICAL MARKET SOLUTIONSAs cybersecurity becomes a top priority in the medical device industry, the FDA is pushing for a risk-based approach to secure embedded software. MontaVista is helping companies meet these evolving FDA security requirements with a comprehensive framework built into our CGX Linux and MVShield platforms. These tools support compliance, vulnerability management, and incident response. Our MVSecure service takes it further, offering custom solutions that leverage our deep Linux expertise to meet specific platform needs. Through MVSecure, MontaVista provides risk assessments—identifying vulnerabilities, evaluating their impact on patient safety and device effectiveness, and implementing the necessary security controls for regulatory compliance and long-term reliability.
