MITIGATING DEVICE VULNERABILITIES IN SOFTWARE

A method can include simulating, by at least one hardware processor, operation of an embedded device under a variety of conditions including a variety of electromagnetic interference (EMI) conditions and a variety of weather conditions, determining proper operation characteristics of the components based on the simulating, the proper operation characteristics of the components determined based on simulations that result in the embedded device operating properly, determining which components of the embedded device impact proper operation of the embedded device by a threshold amount, and programming the at least one hardware processor to implement a safeguard that ensures proper operation of a component of the components.
