Infineon Technologies’ Preeti Ohri Khemani discussed the implications of the CRA in a podcast, highlighting the global impact and urging embedded systems developers to address security concerns. Collaborative efforts with organizations like OpenSSF and Eclipse Foundation aim to establish cybersecurity standards. Dom Rizzo, founder of the OpenTitan secure silicon project, emphasized the role of open-source silicon security in protecting national security amid ongoing chip shortages.
