Virtualisation and Security

October 13, 15:30-17:00

Microkernel, Virtualization, Multiple Operating systems. Where does this leave security?
We will see how to tackle theses issues both for medium and high security applications. Supervise or even hypervise a system including unreliable operating systems.

Presentations will be made by:

Rod White Lynux Works

"Medium & High Assurance Solutions for Military Aerospace Applications"

The presentation will deal with the differences we see that medium and high assurance applications require and so lead on to some information on how and why we have laid out our products to tackle these different requirements

Covering the Scandinavian region, Rod brings his 20+ years experience as an embedded Software Engineer and in Sales to bear in helping customers understand how to apply the
LynuxWorks real-time operating systems to their applications. As Rod says, “The customers are using complex products to build even more complex products. If a Sales person doesn’t listen to
them and help them get just the right thing, then it can be a very costly mistake to rectify. I’ve always felt it’s worth the extra time to make sure we sell the right products in to the right applications. That way everyone is happy and customers come back to us again and again. That’s what partnership is all about!”.

Tomas Evensen Wind River

" Leveraging hypervisor technology to enable safe and secure embedded devices"

The use of a hypervisor to partition an embedded system such that it can run multiple operating systems allows for innovation, reuse of legacy assets, and hardware consolidation. In addition, a hypervisor's time and space partitioning capabilities can be leveraged to ensure the security of a partition from the rest of the system as well as the reliability of a partition such that it can be proven safe and reliable even when combined with partitions running unreliable operating systems. Learn how hypervisor technology and capabilities can address the technical challenges of consolidated safe and secure systems in various market segments without the need for redundant hardware.
