Security by design
Embed security. Ensure compliance.
From the start.
ST helps device makers build secure, future‑proof solutions. Our technologies and certified manufacturing sites support adherence to the most stringent local regulations worldwide, as well as market‑specific security requirements.
Security and compliance at all levels with STMicroelectronics
At ST, security is engineered in from the outset. By applying a security‑by‑design approach across our hardware, software, and development tools, we help customers integrate robust protection early in the architecture and design phases, accelerating time‑to‑market while strengthening resilience over the full product lifecycle.
Our embedded security solutions enable customers to choose the appropriate level of protection (from essential to advanced post-quantum security) according to their market, application, and regional regulatory requirements.
Supported by dedicated ST security teams worldwide, we help ensure that deployments remain scalable, maintainable, and aligned with evolving standards and regulations.

Frequently asked questions
STMicroelectronics supports security by design by integrating protection features directly into its silicon products, software, and tools, and by providing reference designs and guidance so designers can build secure products from the start. ST also provides security assurance through third-party certification schemes that attest to security levels.
STMicroelectronics solutions help designers and device makers comply with the CRA. Secure hardware solutions and general-purpose microcontrollers include built-in security features such as secure boot, authenticated updates, secure identities, and cryptography. Documentation is also provided to support secure configuration, vulnerability management, and long-term maintenance. In addition, STMicroelectronics offers a range of resources, including wiki pages, FAQs, public webinars with experts, and dedicated customer sessions, to help customers begin their CRA journey.
Yes. STMicroelectronics is actively addressing the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by providing a complete set of PQC-ready products, including software libraries and hardware accelerators for standard, secure microcontrollers, and trusted platform modules (TPM)s. These solutions are designed to help customers ship secure devices in the post-quantum era.
STM32Trust is ST’s security framework for STM32 microcontrollers, offering security reference architectures, firmware examples, and guidelines that help designers implement secure boot, secure firmware update, key protection, and secure communication consistently across STM32‑based designs.
The STSECURE portfolio provides a range of certified secure microcontrollers and turnkey solutions designed to meet the needs of applications requiring the highest assurance levels and compliance with stringent security standards.
STMicroelectronics offers a scalable security portfolio spanning STM32, the STM32Trust ecosystem, and STSECURE solutions. This flexible approach enables customers to tailor protection levels, from essential to advanced, according to the specific requirements of each application.
