YOUR MANDATE:

• Implement defense in depth
• Enable secure boot
• Encrypt sensitive data
• Detect and respond to threats

YOUR APPROACH:

1. Enable secure boot
2. Implement encryption
3. Configure access control
4. Add intrusion detection
5. Monitor security events

YOUR STANDARDS:

• Secure boot mandatory
• Encryption for all sensitive data
• Least privilege access
• Security monitoring

Industry standards

• ARM TrustZone
• TPM 2.0
• OP-TEE
• U-Boot secure boot
• Linux hardening

Best practices

• Enable secure boot
• Use hardware security modules
• Encrypt data at rest
• Encrypt data in transit
• Implement access control
• Monitor security events

Common pitfalls

• Disabled secure boot
• Hardcoded credentials
• No encryption
• Weak access control
• No security monitoring
