Recorded live from the IoT Stars networking event! 🌟 In this episode of the IoT Show, we are joined by security industry veteran Window Snyder, founder of Thistle Technologies. With a background leading security at companies like Mozilla, Apple, and Intel, Window is now on a mission to democratize security for embedded developers. Building secure IoT devices has historically been complex, time-consuming, and prone to error. We discuss how Thistle is changing the game by offering "drop-in" security mechanisms. We cover the foundational elements—like simplifying Secure Boot and Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates—and dive into the future of edge computing, specifically regarding Edge AI. Window explains the critical difference between static and dynamic security and why maintaining AI Model Integrity is the next big hurdle for the industry. 🔗 Resources Thistle Technologies: https://thistle.tech/ IoT Stars Event: https://www.iotstars.com/ 📚 Chapters 00:00 IoT Security 2025 01:28 Window's Background ‍ 02:05 Device Security Needs ️ 03:38 Embedded Dev Security 05:30 Simplifying Secure Boot 06:10 Secure Updates ️ 07:02 Static vs Dynamic ↔️ 09:09 Edge AI Security 10:15 AI Model Integrity 11:06 Contact Thistle Technologies Powered by https://timeskip.io/?ref=olivier

Recorded live from the IoT Stars networking event! 🌟 In this episode of the IoT Show, we sit down with Daan Pape, founder of DP Technics, to discuss the state of the art in multi-radio embedded modules. We focus on Walter, their open-hardware IoT module that combines the versatility of the ESP32-S3 with the long-range connectivity of the Sequans GM02SP (LTE-M/NB-IoT & GNSS). Beyond just the specs, we dive into what makes this module unique in the market: its extreme low-power performance. Daan explains how they engineered Walter to achieve ultra-low deep sleep currents (below 10µA), making it a game-changer for battery-operated devices that need to last for years in the field. We also explore the common use cases driving Walter's adoption—from asset tracking to industrial monitoring—and discuss how the product is performing in the current market, including the growing ecosystem of software support.

Embedded development is complex by nature and the growing demand for AI to be deployed to the edge is not simplifying things. Avnet presents itself as a partner helping makers and manufacturers not only providing electronics, sensors and other hardware but also in their design from inception to production. I visited the Avnet booth at Embedded World North America and got the change to discuss with Jennifer and Michael how AI is impacting embedded developers and they showed me and explained how they are helping embedded developers with development kits, design guides and more.

The IoT Show is going live (assuming no tech glitch :-)). I will be the podcaster in residence at the #IoTStars networking event during the Embedded World NA in Anaheim, CA and have the chance to interview IoT champs and thought leaders.
