Embedded System
What is Embedded System?
A computer system with a dedicated function within a larger system, often with limited security capabilities requiring specialized protection.
Frameworks that govern embedded system
What the standards actually require on embedded system
Requirements naming embedded system across this standard, quoted from the control text.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev 11 control
IoT devices, embedded controllers, and appliances often contain flash storage with credentials and operational data. Where sanitize commands are not provided, physical destruction of the storage component is required.
