Problem
IoT, IoMT, and IIoT devices are vulnerable to memory and command injection attacks, particularly from sophisticated actors, which can compromise device functionality and data integrity. Traditional security measures often require frequent patching, leading to high management costs and potential downtime, while also struggling to address zero-day exploits and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Solution
Sternum provides an embedded security and observability platform that protects IoT devices from runtime attacks without requiring agents or code modifications. Its patented EIV (Embedded Integrity Verification) technology profiles device behavior in real time, deterministically preventing memory and command injection attacks, including zero-day threats. The platform offers real-time monitoring and alerting, providing granular insights into device and fleet-level anomalies through personalized dashboards. AI-powered threat detection delivers XDR-like capabilities, offering awareness of malicious behaviors and security blindspots, enabling proactive risk management and streamlined regulatory compliance.
Target Audience
The primary customers are device manufacturers and operators in the IoT, IoMT, and IIoT sectors who require robust runtime protection, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven threat detection for their connected devices.
