NEC and NEC Security have announced that their “Lightweight Program Tampering Detection” software will now work with general-purpose Windows and embedded Windows IoT. This update benefits industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and retail. Sales for the expanded version will commence on April 1, 2025.
This software offers fast and gentle security checks. Devices keep working, so security measures won’t affect performance. This is especially helpful for Windows-based industrial equipment. Security has often been hard to implement because of important operational needs.
The solution helps stop malware and program tampering. This lowers risks such as financial losses from factory shutdowns, data breaches involving credit cards, and medical errors due to faulty devices. It also provides quick security solutions for device makers meeting regulatory mandates.
