UltraSoC selected as a Gartner “Cool Vendor”

CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom: UltraSoC and hardware-based security have announced that it has been recognized by Gartner Inc as a “Cool Vendor” in the Embedded Software and Systems market.

UltraSoC’s silicon IP and software tools allow system-on-chip (SoC) designers to create a secure, independent on-chip infrastructure that non-intrusively monitors and analyzes the device’s internal behavior. These capabilities can be used to ease embedded systems development, speeding time-to-market and cutting costs; and to build innovative features for use in-field, when they can be used to spot unexpected behavior caused by bugs or by malicious interference (Bare Metal Security™), and to analyze performance trends.
