White Paper Overview

As the world becomes increasingly connected, cybersecurity and privacy protections have taken centre stage in regulatory frameworks. The European Union’s Radio Equipment Directive (RED), particularly its Article 3.3, is at the forefront of ensuring that wireless devices sold within the EU market meet stringent cybersecurity requirements. The recent updates to the RED regulations, specifically the 2022/30/EU delegated regulation, and the introduction of the EN 18031: 2024 Common security requirements for radio equipment set of standards, highlight the critical need for secure data storage, resilient software updates, and robust access control mechanisms.

Winbond’s cutting-edge W77Q and W77T Secure Flash memory solutions have been designed to meet these exacting standards, offering a robust, easy-to-integrate solution for manufacturers seeking to achieve compliance with RED cybersecurity requirements. The EN 18031 standards outline key requirements, and Winbond’s secure memory products are specifically engineered to support these regulations, providing essential features like secure storage, encrypted software updates, and resilience mechanisms.
