Seco, NXP team on embedded IoT security
NXP and Seco in Italy are working to combine silicon, the Seco Clea software and NXP EdgeLock 2GO security services
The Clea software platform will be available to all NXP silicon users and integrated with NXP’s EdgeLock 2GO service platform. The collaboration builds on a longstanding partnership and aims to make the most of the Clea software features and NXP’s processing for AI-powered devices specifically tailored for industrial and IoT applications.
This will see Clea integrated directly into NXP’s official Linux and Zephyr board support packages (BSPs) for direct access Clea’s IoT data and device management features. This allows device manufacturers to build end-to-end IoT applications and deploy AI models at scale using NXP’s hardware and secure cloud services.
SECO spins out Clea OS for container IoT
Seco has 450 customers and also works with Qualcomm and Mediatek for IoT silicon and is spinning out its Clea OS into a separate business.
“This partnership agreement with SECO will enlarge NXP’s value proposition to our customers by providing them access to Clea’s ready-to-use IoT platform and pre-trained AI algorithms, supporting multiple use cases. Furthermore, Clea will offer secure device provisioning by leveraging NXP’s EdgeLock 2GO services. This will allow end customers to manage seamlessly the whole lifecycle of their products, from secure OTA to deployment of their own or third party services and applications, without the need to change hardware,” said Luca Difalco, Senior Vice President, Global Sales, NXP Semiconductors.
“This partnership between NXP and SECO represents a significant milestone in our technological advancements in both hardware and software. Over the years, we have cultivated a strong, privileged relationship and share a unified vision for the future of the industrial IoT market. Our joint commitment, centred on Clea software and EdgeLock 2GO, elevates our collaboration to new heights,” said Massimo Mauri, CEO of SECO.
