CEO Interview: Jothy Rosenberg of Dover Microsystems
There are two critical problems that Dover is addressing. The first issue was created back in 1945—the Von Neumann architecture. The second problem was identified fifty years later by Steve McConnell in his book Code Complete, and it only exacerbates the issue of the Von Neumann architecture. McConnell found that all complex software inevitably contains bugs.

Dover Microsystems Spins New Approach to Security
One of the companies I met at ARM TechCon was Dover Microsystems who offer a product in embedded security. You might ask why we need yet another security solution. Surely we’re overloaded with security options from ARM and many others in the forms of TEEs, secure boots, secure enclaves and so on? Why do we need more? Because defending against security breaches is a never-ending battle; no-one is ever going to have the ultimate answer.
CPU Security Gets Hardcore
Sometimes security is just for show and sometimes it’s the real thing. You can get a retiree to put on a blue uniform and stand outside a suburban bank to provide a bit of security theater. Or you can have a team of armed Navy SEALs infiltrate a beach on a moonless night. Just depends how much security you really want.

Eliminating Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities On The IoT
When addressing the disease rather than the symptoms of buffer overflows, a more robust method is to implement security in silicon – while stack buffer overflow exploitations are designed to manipulate software programs, addressing the root cause of such attacks begins with realizing that the processor is not able to determine whether a given program is executing properly.
Startup Dover Microsystems Is Focused On IoT Device Security
