As connected devices proliferate across IoT, automotive, and industrial markets, ensuring cybersecurity at the hardware level has become essential. The European Union’s RED (Radio Equipment Directive) cybersecurity requirements mandate provides robust protections against data breaches, unauthorized access, and malicious firmware manipulation. 

At the heart of these requirements lies the integrity of the device’s firmware—a core component often stored and updated in flash memory. Secure flash memory plays a pivotal role in meeting RED compliance by enabling authenticated firmware updates, enforcing access controls, and ensuring resilience against tampering or rollback attacks. Without these protections rooted in memory security, connected devices remain vulnerable at their most fundamental layer.
