OUR RESPONSABILITY

Security As a Leitmotif

Security is more than just a technical term for us. We view it as a guiding principle for responsibility and foresight. As parents, we consider the world we will leave to our children. As engineers and innovators, we are aware that technological progress brings not only new opportunities but also new risks.​

We acknowledge that technology carries risks. Therefore, we choose the significant term "security" as the guiding principle for our actions.​

Our connection to electronics is no coincidence. Electronics are the backbone of almost all technological innovations. It's not just about developing new products but about making these products secure, transparent, and resilient.​

Electronics secure essential aspects of our society: they ensure functioning infrastructure, enable progress within regulated frameworks, and provide a stable foundation for defending our democracies.​

We think beyond the immediate. When electronics serve progress, they also strengthen the defense capabilities and technological sovereignty of our country and the European Union.​

By relying on robust, transparent, and reliable technologies, methods, and practices, we contribute to shaping a secure and future-ready world.

RELIABLE TO PROTECT LIVES

Functional Safety

Functional safety ensures that an electronic system remains safe even in the presence of faults. It guarantees that no unacceptable risks arise for people, the environment, or equipment. This is especially crucial in safety-critical applications such as railway technology, medical devices, or aerospace. Established standards like IEC 61508 are applied in these contexts.

We ensure that your electronics meet the highest safety standards by implementing redundant systems, careful fault management, and clearly defined development processes.

RESILIENT EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Cybersecurity of Electronic Systems

In addition to geopolitical tensions and hybrid conflicts, cybercrime presents a constant challenge. With increasingly sophisticated attack techniques, cybercriminals target vulnerabilities in connected electronic systems to sabotage functions or disable entire infrastructure components.

As electronics developers, we must act proactively to close security gaps and minimize the impact of such attacks. This requires not only technical measures such as encryption and secure firmware, but also organizational and strategic approaches.

DEFENSE ELECTRONICS

Electronics for Security and Defense

Electronic systems for defense technology must meet the highest standards of security and robustness. They are required to operate reliably under extreme conditions and must not exhibit any vulnerabilities that could lead to system failures or data loss.

We have extensive experience in developing systems that fulfill these demands. This includes not only protective mechanisms against external influences but also strict compliance with the highest security standards and regulations—enabling us to support our customers with resilient and highly available solutions.

SUPPLY CHAINS AND THE GLOBAL MARKET

Procurement Security

A key foundation of security in electronics is the selection of trusted suppliers and components. Insecure supply chains or counterfeit parts can significantly compromise the quality and reliability of a system.

We support our partners in selecting certified suppliers, establishing secure supply chains, and documenting the origin of all components.

In addition, we consider platforms and porting: migrating existing electronic systems to new platforms must be carefully planned to meet security standards and avoid long-term risks.

 

HIGH-TECH ELECTRONICS

Process Security

We adhere to strict standards in development and embed security into every step of our processes. By relying on established methodologies such as the V-Model, we ensure clear structures and transparency throughout.

When needed, we integrate Security by Design from the very beginning—considering security requirements already in the concept phase to lay the foundation for robust and secure products.

Our approach is further strengthened by comprehensive technical risk management, enabling us to identify and address potential vulnerabilities early on. In this way, we create a process landscape that systematically places security at the center.

Security is not a product – it is a principle. Developing electronics for safety and secure systems is our mission, our guiding principle, our commitment.
