The PSA Certified 2022 Security Report is an annual barometer of industry perceptions and intentions around IoT security, now in its second year. Crypto Quantique is a partner of PSA certified, last year receiving certification as PSA certified Level 2 Ready for our QDID semiconductor IP. Crypto Quantique did not sponsor or pay for this report but we felt it is hugely beneficial for decision makers to optimise their knowledge of security.
