New business and revenue opportunities
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at a rapid pace. According to market research conducted by IDC, by 2020 the IoT will connect 4 billion people, network more than 25 billion
embedded and intelligent systems and exchange some 50 trillion gigabytes of data.
In this dynamic new climate shaped by smart factories, smart cities, smart homes and
connected cars, many organizations are rethinking their offerings and business models as
they integrate into widening ecosystems and new value chains. The market is thus seeing
rising investments into intelligent IoT technologies.
Overcoming security challenges in the IoT
However, embedded system security often lags far behind connectivity and networking
technologies. Especially for companies that did not typically specialize in security, the
IoT is presenting a new and increasingly wide attack surface. Manufacturers struggle to
protect sensitive data, intellectual property (IP) and even business continuity. In fact,
many companies have not identified their concrete needs in this area. These are both
complex and varied depending on the business model and application in question as
well as the value that needs to be protected.
Winning combination
Infineon created the Infineon Security Partner Network (ISPN) to reduce the
complexity of building security into IoT. The ISPN acts as a hub for security players,
bringing them together and delivering security solutions to providers of connected
devices and applications.
The ISPN was inspired by Infineon’s belief that strong partnerships and networks are
the key to effective and reliable security in a heterogeneous environment such as the IoT,
where needs can vary from one region to another. In other words, end-to-end security
that is tailored to individual, local needs and budgets can be best delivered through the
power of partnership.
The ISPN aims to
››Help device manufacturers and applications providers to better understand threats
that can undermine their business
››Relieve companies of the need to invest heavily in security know-how and infrastructure
››Propose end-to-end, easy-to-integrate security solutions bundling several
solution layers
››Help customers implement ready-to-run security solutions in order to harden their
applications and devices against today’s and tomorrow’s threats

How does it work?
ISPN is a place where providers of connected devices and
applications can quickly and easily find security solutions
delivered by experienced players with proven track records. These players rely on semiconductor technologies
from Infineon to deliver application- or market-specific
security solutions that extend along the full value chain.
As such, the ISPN bridges the gap between Infineon with its
proven hardware-based security technologies and device
manufacturers looking to implement those technologies
into connected devices or IoT applications. This synergy
will benefit countless manufacturers across manifold
industries. Take, for instance, manufacturers of home appliances such as fridges or washing machines. In the past,
these companies had no security expertise; now they need
to build digital intelligence into their equipment – and they
are looking for easy ways to do this.
Partners selected for their expertise and
industry excellence
ISPN partners are security experts selected for their competence and proven experience
in a specific area. They demonstrate their know-how and capabilities through tangible
use cases that reflect real-world needs. In line with these use cases, they design and
deliver off-the-shelf or custom-built solutions and secure devices for specific applications
ranging from smart homes, smart cities and connected cars to industrial automation and
information & communication technologies (ICT).

Smart cities
In addition, they deliver a range of complementary services along the full solution
lifecycle and value chain – extending from consulting through electronic design to
systems integration and trust services management.
