MANHASSET, NY—Icon Labs and Zilog are making a splash at DESIGN West with Zgate, an embedded hardware communication solution that aims to protect connected devices from Internet-based threats.
The joint technology offering provides Icon Labs' Floodgate Packet Filter in Zilog's eZ80Acclaim products with a security layer adding significantly deeper protection.
"Zilog and Icon Labs have been working closely together on this innovative MCU-based solution to keep in step with the world's need for stronger security solutions across many embedded applications, "said Steve Darrough, Zilog's VP of Marketing, in a statement.
"Icon Lab's Floodgate provides protection from Internet-based threats by controlling what packets the embedded device is allowed to process," said Alan Grau, president of Icon Labs. "Encryption and authentication may protect a device from a hacker trying to access the device, but Floodgate prevents the hacker from even connecting."
The technology will be showcased next week at the ESC Conference, part of DESIGN West, booth 723.
