When securing an environment where a real-time operating system is in use, what characteristic is primarily associated with this type of system that must be taken into account?
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is designed to process data as it comes in, usually within a strict time constraint. This is crucial for time-sensitive applications such as embedded systems within medical devices, industrial control systems, or automotive controls. Understanding this characteristic is fundamental because it influences how security measures are implemented so as not to interfere with real-time processing requirements.
