Embedded Insiders Podcast – Episode #29 – Machine Learning: Fact or Fiction
Send us a text A few weeks ago, the Embedded Insiders tackled the topic of artificial intelligence and machine learning. After further review, one of the Insiders called foul, saying that there’s nothing new here. “It’s just the same technology with a new catchy name.” Insider B clams Insider A doesn’t know what he’s talking about; that AI and Machine Learning really are new technologies and are sure to make an impact going forward. Listen to the latest Embedded Insiders podcast and make a de...

Embedded Insiders Podcast – Episode #28 – Secure Your Network, No Matter the Cost
Send us a text As the old axiom goes, “if you have to ask the price, then you can’t afford it.” I’m here to say that nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to securing your network. In fact, depending on the data that you’re protecting, it’s possible that there’s no cost that’s too high. That’s the message I tried to present (well, it was a lot more aggressive than “present”) in this week’s Embedded Insiders podcast. Technology Editor Brandon Lewis and I thought it was importan...

Embedded Insiders – Episode #27 – The Vicious Cycle of Electric Vehicles
Send us a text The Embedded Insiders stumble upon an interesting question this week: Why haven't hybrid and electric vehicles been more successful? The capability to support these technologies has been available almost since cars themselves, yet today they represent less than 1 percent of the world vehicle population. Can embedded power and analog components help? Tune in as the Insiders explore. Topics include: - Automotive - Electric Vehicles - Battery Management - Power Components For mor...

Embedded Insiders – Episode #26 – Keeping an eye on connected devices with data categorization
Send us a text "Data classification" is helpful for analyzing information in IoT environments to support business intelligence applications, but it's also an elegant way of monitoring the behavior of devices to determine whether they are being used as part of a potential cyber attack. In this week's Embedded Insiders podcast, Rich Nass and Brandon Lewis welcome Jeff Finn, CEO of data categorization and security firm Zvelo. After some banter, Jeff describes how monitoring traffic coming from e...

Embedded Insiders – Episode #25 – Hacker Deception
Send us a textA FireEye report recently found that the cyber threats that have penetrated an organization's network defenses have an average dwell time of almost 5 months before they are discovered and expelled. This leaves a lot of time for sensitive data to be siphoned, damaged, or, worse, for systems to be irreparably harmed. Obviously, current security technology isn't cutting it. In this week's Embedded Insiders, Brandon Lewis explains a new technology that expands on the honeypot model ...

Embedded Insiders – Episode #24 – Back the the future with the Kontron/S&T merger
Send us a text With shrinking margins in the board and module market, companies are merging to acquire proficiency in areas like software and networking. That’s precisely the driver behind the Kontron and S&T Deutschland Holding AG merger announced last month. This week, the Embedded Insiders chat with Kevin Rhoads, General Manager at Kontron Americas to find out more about what S&T and Kontron stand to gain from each other. They learn S&T’s software and middleware solutions compl...

Embedded Insiders – Episode #23 – Into the Mist as the IIoT Goes Private
Send us a text One half of the Embedded Insiders made a trip to Southern California this week, where he encountered to opposite sides of the Industrial IoT spectrum. On one end, engineers from ADL Embedded Solutions discussed how its legacy of standard board products and MIL-SPEC designs are filling a need at the mist computing level. At the other, Qualcomm representatives demonstrated how private LTE networks are now in a position to disrupt the IIoT marketplace. But what is mist, exactly? A...

Embedded Insiders – Episode #22 – NAND flash forward
Send us a text The NAND flash memory market has evolved (or devolved depending on who you ask) into a battle of the BoMs, where the lowest price usually wins. But is that really the only consideration anymore when selecting a flash memory device, particularly for harsh environment applications? These are questions the Embedded Insiders ask this week, and have answered by Steve Larrivee of industrial-grade NAND flash solution provider Cactus Technologies. During the discussion, the Insiders le...
