Security

As security expectations rise globally - driven by region-specific cybersecurity regulations - safeguarding device credentials has become critical for IoT manufacturers. This article explains how the ESP-TEE framework integrates with Matter and demonstrates building secure products using the Espressif RISC-V SoCs, showcasing hardware-enforced security that can resist scalable remote software attacks.

Fast and secure device restoration during boot-up is critical for real-time IoT applications like smart lighting. In this article, we explore how to reduce boot-up delays by restoring device state early, directly from the ESP-IDF bootloader.

Espressif is streamlining RED Delegated Act (RED-DA) compliance by providing pre-certified firmware platforms, documentation templates, and partner support to help developers meet the upcoming EN 18031 standard. With flexible pathways including self-declaration and third-party assessments, developers can accelerate EU market readiness for Aug 2025 and beyond.

This guide helps manufacturers of wireless-enabled products based on Espressif modules understand the RED DA (EN 18031) cybersecurity requirements, identify their product’s category, and determine the right path to certification before launching in the EU market.
