• Embedded virtualization has emerged as a valuable way to reduce costs, improve software quality, and decrease design time. Additionally, virtualization can enforce the overall system's security from several perspectives. One is security due to separation, where the hypervisor ensures that one domain does not compromise the execution of other domains. At the same time, the advances in the development of IoT applications opened discussions about the security flaws that were introduced by IoT devices. In a few years, billions of these devices will be connected to the cloud exchanging information. This is an opportunity for hackers to exploit their vulnerabilities, endangering applications connected to such devices. At this point, it is inevitable to consider virtualization as a possible approach for IoT security. In this paper we discuss how embedded virtualization could take place on IoT devices as a sound solution for security.
