Introducing Security Tuesdays: A New Edge Security Series From Thistle Technologies on Hackster
Stay tuned for weekly edge security drops — space, IoT, CRA, and more. Let’s secure the edge together!
Edge devices are everywhere — monitoring soil moisture, running factory floors, guiding satellites, even managing power grids. But securing these devices? That’s still the Wild West.
That’s why we’re thrilled to launch Security Tuesdays — a new weekly column from Thistle Technologies in collaboration with Hackster, dedicated to building awareness, sharing tools, and rallying the community around one of the most exciting and overlooked frontiers in tech: edge security.
What to expect
Each Tuesday, we’ll dive into technical, real-world explorations of edge security — what’s working, what’s evolving, and what developers need to know. We’ll cover topics like:
- The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) — how it reshapes compliance, update strategies, and lifecycle security for embedded and IoT systems.
- Securing the edge in space — because satellites and rovers need hardened systems, too.
- The role of edge security platforms in sustainable IoT — how good security design can reduce waste, extend device lifespans, and avoid early obsolescence.
- Secure boot, secure over-the-air updates, secure data at rest, and other concrete implementation strategies.
- Community projects, developer insights, and tools to help you build confidently and securely at the edge.
Why edge security? Why now?
We’re watching the threat landscape shift. The edge — whether in a smart city or a satellite — is where critical data is generated, processed, and often most vulnerable. But it's also where innovation happens fastest.
We believe security should be part of that innovation, not a blocker.
Security Tuesdays are here to spark conversation, share best practices, and help developers navigate an increasingly complex (and at some point regulated) space. We’ll balance depth with accessibility — technical enough to be useful, digestible enough to keep you coming back.
Whether you're writing firmware in C, spinning up a secure MQTT pipeline, or just curious about how to harden your next edge build, this series is for you.
Follow along every Tuesday here on Hackster! Let’s build a safer, smarter, more resilient edge — together.
