Our favorite devices are becoming smarter each day. They make it easier to control the world around us and provide new avenues to stay connected. But we aren't the only ones who stand to benefit from a highly connected environment. Each device represents a different way for attackers to spy on us, steal our passwords, or make off with proprietary information.

Consider connected home security equipment. It's only helpful if properly protected. Attackers can digitally infiltrate the home through weak Wi-Fi network security to quickly learn your whereabouts. Or as the DDOS attack in late 2016 showed the world, malware uploaded to these devices through over-the-air updates can have a devastating impact. For these reasons, encrypting audio and video data, implementing stronger Wi-Fi network security, and ensuring updates are signed and verified are all important considerations to make when using or designing connected devices.

But you don't have to do it alone. With SimpleLink Wi-Fi, we're making it easier for you to design with security. By using two separate execution environments, built-in hardware crypto engines, advanced networking security, and more, we have made this second generation of hardware the most capable single-chip solution for Wi-Fi design, reducing opportunities for attackers and helping secure firmware and software updates. This unique system architecture allows you to focus on designing applications with fewer components, saving you time and money. To learn more, visit ti.com/simplelinkwifi.
