Embedded systems security engineers advise and implement solutions to control access to data and programs in embedded and connected systems. They help ensuring the safe operation of products with embedded systems and connected devices by being responsible for the protection and security of the related systems and design, plan and execute security measures accordingly. Embedded systems security engineers help to keep attackers at bay by implementing safeguards that prevent intrusions and breaches.

Scope note

The focus of the embedded systems security engineers is on connected products and their supporting networks, and less on organisational security as with the ICT security engineer.
