The next decade promises the connectivity of every device. Significant drops in the cost of connectivity mean that every form of electrical device – every child’s toy, every household’s appliances, and every industry’s equipment – will connect to the Internet.
As the last two decades have proven, on the internet, new security threats emerge daily, but most of manufacturers underestimates the critical need for the highest levels of security in every connected device.
Microsoft is one of the most active defenders for connected devices, they identified The Seven Properties of Highly-Secure Devices and the critical need for hardware, software, and cloud components to work together to secure a device. This has resulted in Microsoft’s Azure Sphere solution.
Microsoft Azure Sphere is a solution for creating highly-secured, connected, MCU-powered devices. Azure Sphere brings together the best of Microsoft’s expertise in cloud, software and silicon—resulting in a unique approach to security that starts in the silicon and extends to the cloud. Together, Azure Sphere certified MCUs, the Azure Sphere OS, and the Azure Sphere Security Service provide you with the confidence and the power to reimagine your business and create the future.
To help jumpstart your Azure Sphere experience, Seeed has created a hardware ecosystem to help you both learn and prototype quickly. 1) Azure Sphere MT3620 Development Kit Designed with IoT and security in mind, the Azure Sphere MT3620 Development Kit features the first Azure Sphere compliant MCU, MediaTek’s MT3620. This MCU combines both real-time and application processors along with built-in Microsoft security technology and connectivity.
