GlobalPlatform, the standard for secure digital services and devices, has published a new protection profile for Microcontroller Units (MCUs), to help IoT component and device manufacturers to build, certify and launch secure technologies and services.

The document is the latest update to GlobalPlatform’s Security Certification Programme and defines a set of security objectives and requirements for an MCU, to answer to a specific level of protection and robustness, so solution providers can effectively manage risk and demonstrate the trustworthiness of products, in line with regulations.
