In one of my previous blogs in early February I warned of how easily software viruses can be – and in some cases are engineered to be – transferred via commercially available, standard form factor removable memory devices, such as USB sticks / thumb drives.

I thought it was important to provide an update to let you know the state of play for us here at Nexus at this difficult time for everyone. In terms of our operation, we’re operating as close to normal as possible, whilst ensuring we look

We’re a good few weeks into 2020 now and it can’t have escaped your attention that cybersecurity is an extremely hot topic for the year. (It’s also our focus for all trade shows at which we’re exhibiting this year) Why are we so focused on

Would you like a free e-ticket to Embedded World 2020 at the end of February? Here’s a link if you do, use code B424195 and hey presto you will get a free ticket. We’ll be there at the Datakey booth in Hall 4A-309, exhibiting the wide

If you are a regular reader of Electronics magazine here in the UK, you may have seen our feature in February’s edition? It was an article written by yours truly, focusing on some core design considerations for embedded systems, and it seems to have gone
