AI has moved from experimentation to everyday use in embedded systems. Teams are now relying on AI-generated code in products that run medical devices, industrial equipment, vehicles, and energy systems. But the security practices surrounding that code need to evolve to keep pace.
This report shares insights from more than 200 embedded systems professionals working across critical infrastructure sectors. It examines how AI is being used in embedded development today, the risks teams are seeing, and the security gaps that remain as AI-written code moves into production.
The 2025 AI in Embedded Systems Report highlights the challenges, trade-offs, and priorities shaping the next phase of embedded security and where organizations need to focus to keep critical systems safe.

Key Takeaways Malware infections remain the leading attack type from 2025 to 2026, affecting 48% of organizations that experienced an incident. Remote access exploitation increased to 38% in 2026, up from 28% in 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing threat...
Key Takeaways An SBOM is required, but not enough. FDA 524B requires proof of active software risk control, including vulnerability analysis, remediation decisions, and postmarket monitoring. Exploitability analysis is the differentiator. The FDA doesn't expect zero...
Key Takeaways Cyberattacks on medical devices are rising despite stronger procurement requirements. 80% of affected organizations reported moderate or significant impact on patient care. Legacy devices are the gap that procurement cannot close. More than a quarter of...
