As technology accelerates at a breakneck pace, builders and software engineers are grappling with the daunting challenge of balancing innovative development with rigorous security and safety measures, according to BlackBerry Limited, a leading software provider. On October 8, a leading corporation unveiled the results of a comprehensive survey of 1,000 global embedded software developers and engineers.
The survey revealed escalating concerns regarding the conflicting demands of meeting strict project timelines and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures. The analysis is highly relevant to a corporation’s real-time operating system and software programs designed for embedded systems applications.
According to research by BlackBerry, a staggering 75% of individuals confess that the pressure of urgency often compels them to sacrifice fundamental security measures. While 54% of builders prioritize safety, 52% price management, and 48% security certifications when selecting a working system, the poll reveals that the majority (74%) are willing to modify their existing OS due to significant downstream challenges in these areas. Approximately 61 percent of organizations acknowledge that meeting global security standards is a significant challenge, particularly given the limitations of their current systems. A significant proportion of respondents (64%) is considering a change to their current operating system primarily due to concerns about safety (36%) and inefficient performance (28%).
