Discussing "The operating systems of the future for the Internet of things": come - it will be interesting

Next Wednesday, April 26, at 19.00, the Moscow IoT Community meeting will be held at the Moscow office of Kaspersky Lab, which this time will be devoted to operating systems for the Internet of things. It will be possible to discuss with the creators of KasperskyOS not only the appearance and place of our operating system in the “sky” of the Internet of Things, but also many other pressing issues in connection with the main theme (except for “why do you need another Linux”, which has already been answered a hundred times ).

As you know, the IoT devices segment is notable for its particularly rapid growth: according to some forecasts, by 2025 the number of assorted “toothbrushes” with connection to the World Wide Web will reach 100 billion. A cake of this size, of course, attracts not only developers and manufacturers, but also attackers, who continually strive to grab their piece.

Today's market is flooded with a variety of solutions to protect the Internet of things, including protecting the device (and hence the user) at the operating system level. There are Chinese and Russian options, a whole group of open source solutions from the mobile segment, which have evolved over the last decade towards the Internet of things. These include dozens of Linux distributions, ARM Mbed, Apache Mynewt, and some other operating systems.

There is also our solution - KasperskyOS is a secure operating system based on microkernel architecture. Of course, it is not a replacement for already existing analogues of wide application for user computers or servers. She has completely different tasks and working principle. So, if in all the programs the legitimacy and security of applications are determined on the basis of their digital signature, then the programs are verified by checking and confirming their behavior. Any communications between KasperskyOS software modules are guaranteed to pass through the system microkernel, which contains the tools for calculating security verdicts in accordance with a given security policy that allows or prohibits every specific action on the part of the application.

As part of the development of KasperskyOS, many technologies have been created that have found application in various areas of information security, including IoT with its complex security architecture. This direction allowed the use of already existing solutions based on KasperskyOS (Kraftway router) and required the creation of new integrated systems, including both basic technologies (KasperskyOS, Kaspersky Security System, Kaspersky Secure Hypervisor), and innovations (Kaspersky Trusted Channel, Kaspersky Secure Storage, etc.) .d.) These projects used interesting architectural techniques with various third-party operating systems (KSS for Linux, Tizen) and application environments and software (CodeSys). This approach greatly expands the possibilities of using Kaspersky Lab technologies.

In general, we are waiting for all those who are interested in the topic of IoT in the context of protection at the operating system level! See you on April 26 at 19.00. Register for the event here .
