In summary, with the current risk of intrusion being so high, it's critical to evaluate the next product's security needs early in the product life cycle. Will the device ever be connected to a network? Now, or in the future? How will the designer protect the system against hackers or researchers from attempting to install unauthorized software? Consider how long the device is going to be in the customers hands. FPGAs from Intel can give the designer some space to be able to adapt in the future when current accelerators could potentially become obsolete. Check out the security examples from SecureRF on the SecureRF web site. Most of all - start thinking about security early in the design phase, and consider what Intel FPGA devices can offer to boost the security resilience over the entire operating lifespan of the product.
