embedded award 2026: Safety&Security nominees
Increasingly intensive networking of embedded systems increases the demands on the functional safety of hardware and software and on protection against external attacks (security). The general security situation leads to an increased threat potential. The solutions of the nominees in the Safety&Security award category help with this.
A security analysis platform for regulatory compliance, an integrated safety and security toolkit for embedded developers, and a high reliability USB device for mission critical data
Exein Analyzer
Exhibitor: Exein
Hall/Booth: 5-253
Exein Analyzer transforms how manufacturers prepare for security and product certifications such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act. Until now, teams had to manually gather documents, map evidence to requirements, and identify gaps. Analyzer automates this entire workflow. The system analyzes technical artefacts—including firmware, SBOMs, vulnerabilities, and configuration data—alongside organizational documentation such as architecture descriptions, test reports, and security procedures. All inputs are automatically classified, matched to regulatory requirements, and checked for completeness.
This creates a centralized, audit ready evidence inventory that clearly shows which requirements are fulfilled, where evidence is missing, and how gaps can be resolved. Analyzer is the first solution to combine deep firmware analysis with documentation based compliance assessment in a single workflow—unlike tools that address only isolated aspects or rely on expensive manual consulting.
Output includes complete compliance reports, coverage summaries, gap analyses with prioritization, and actionable recommendations. Exein Analyzer reduces certification timelines from months to weeks while significantly lowering cost and risk. Integrated into CI/CD pipelines, it enables continuous compliance monitoring and early detection of security issues—supporting more sustainable development processes and longer lasting, more secure products.
Hitex SafeTpal - Safety and Security Suite for AURIX™
Exhibitor: Hitex GmbH
Hall/Booth: 4-205
Hitex SafeTpal simplifies the development of safety and security critical embedded systems by unifying the complex protection mechanisms of AURIX™ MCUs into one modular, easy to integrate suite. Instead of manually implementing diagnostic functions, self tests, fault handling, or secure boot/update processes, SafeTpal provides a unified API with ready to use checks for CPU, clock/power, watchdogs, memory, ECC/CRC, and robust fault management – supported by validation collateral to meet ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 certification requirements.
Its key innovation is full end to end integration across the entire V model: SafeTpal delivers pre built software components, safety analyses, code generation, and a production ready SO DIMM reference hardware design. This creates a seamless workflow from requirements to design, implementation, verification, and final validation.
The USP: a proprietary V model integration architecture that connects analysis, implementation, verification, and compliance within a single suite—eliminating fragmented multi vendor toolchains. With pre certified components, model based development, automated artifact generation, and real time bidirectional traceability, SafeTpal supports both AUTOSAR and non AUTOSAR projects efficiently and consistently.
By enabling reuse, reducing certification effort, and supporting long lived AURIX™ platforms, SafeTpal also contributes to the technical and economic sustainability of safety critical system development.
TEAMGROUP INDUSTRIAL U512T Write-Protection USB Drive
Exhibitor: Team Group Inc.
Hall/Booth: 3-349
The U512T USB drive provides reliable, hardware-level protection for sensitive data in demanding industrial and military applications. Conventional USB drives rely on software-based write protection, which is easily bypassed and offers no defense against malware, manipulation, or accidental deletion. The U512T solves this with a physical write protection switch that locks data at the circuit level—creating a true “physical firewall” for secure data transfer.
Its intelligent one-touch safeguard activates protection instantly and prevents data corruption even during sudden power outages. With dual interfaces (USB A & USB C) and up to 256 GB capacity, the U512T enables fast, secure data bridging between legacy systems and modern mobile devices.
Its key USP is a concealed switch with tactile feedback that prevents accidental activation—certified to MIL STD 810G for shock and vibration resistance. A magnetic cap ensures the drive remains fully protected even during mobile field operations.
The U512T is designed for durability and sustainability: robust construction, energy-efficient architecture, reduced failure and replacement rates, and the use of recyclable materials compliant with RoHS and REACH support long product life cycles and lower environmental impact.
