  • #21 We provide the infinitely scalable architecture in one build. Wind River then integrates the operating system with this prevalidated, maintained, and open development platform. And finally delivering end-to-end security solutions with McAfee, addressing both present and future malware threats. The security suite is extensive: from whitelisting, Secure Boot, monitoring, manageability, EMS, and deep packet inspection.    This partnership creates the building blocks of preintegrated, prevalidated hardware and software and is what connects legacy and new systems, enabling seamless and secure data flow between edge devices and the cloud.
