    IoT Security & The Importance Certificates with Ellen Boehm, SVP, IoT at Keyfactor

    Ellen Boehm, SVP of IoT at Keyfactor, discusses the critical role of digital certificates and public key infrastructure (PKI) in securing IoT devices, particularly in high-stakes industries like medical and automotive. She explains how Keyfactor helps OEMs manage certificate lifecycles at scale to prevent field failures and prepare for post-quantum cryptography threats. The conversation also covers the challenges of integrating enterprise security solutions with open-source foundations and the emerging need for OT security in industrial automation.

    #000: How New IoT Security Regulations Will Shape the Industry's Future

    François Baldassari, founder and CEO of Memfault, and co-founder/CTO Chris Coleman discuss the impact of new IoT security regulations, specifically the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the US FCC's Cyber Trust Mark. They argue that OTA updates, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) tracking, and device observability are now mandatory for compliance, moving security from an afterthought to a core engineering requirement. The hosts highlight that ignoring these regulations risks severe liability, citing recent pager explosions and Shimano bike shacker hacks as examples of physical dangers from insecure connected devices.

    #008: Navigating the Changing IoT Security Landscape: A Survival Guide for Product Leaders

    Giovanni Alberto Falcione, CTO at Exine, joins Memfault's François Baldassari and Thomas Sarlandie to discuss the impact of the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on IoT security. They analyze the shift from voluntary standards like NIST 800-53 to mandatory compliance, highlighting the critical need for runtime security monitoring and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) tracking. The conversation details how eBPF technology enables low-overhead anomaly detection and how OTA updates are essential for mitigating vulnerabilities in the field.

    #019: END-OF-YEAR CELEBRATION: Moments You Loved, Stories You Missed, and 2026 Predictions You Need

    François Baldassari and Chris Coleman, co-founders of Memfault, reflect on the 20th episode of Coredump Sessions, highlighting lessons from guests like Nick Sinas of Oval, Dan Mangum of Golioth, and Chad from Gabb. They discuss the critical importance of Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, the rise of AI-assisted firmware development using tools like Claude and Cursor, and the evolving security landscape for devices from Pebble to modern smart rings. The hosts predict that 2026 will see OTA become a regulatory requirement and AI offload processing to the edge, while emphasizing the need for engineers to adapt to higher-level abstractions.
