One of the top producers and biggest markets for embedded controllers in the world, NXP Semiconductors, has announced that Sternum, a pioneer in autonomous IoT security and observability, has joined the community of software partners. Through this partnership, NXP-dependent IoT device manufacturers will be able to easily incorporate Sternum's proprietary security and visibility capabilities into their products.
With a CPU overhead of around three percent during the DD process, Sternum's Embedded Integrity Verification was able to neutralize the assaults that NXP researchers had tried. Sternum is seen as an important addition to NXP products because it effectively addresses the growth in remote runtime assaults on connected devices.
According to P&S Intelligence, the embedded security industry will reach more than $10 billion by the end of the current decade. The graph shows an increase in demand for safeguarding against exploitation and the proliferation of cyber-physical systems and increasingly ubiquitous linked devices in both consumer and business markets.
IoT devices are transforming entire industries and have become a significant security vulnerability for businesses since they frequently lack visibility and protection. Without proactive security controls, businesses are forced to spend limitless amounts of money fixing vulnerabilities, which forces them to look for alternative solutions.
With the help of Sternum's universal IoT platform, a new world where fleets of connected devices may be easily, seamlessly, and autonomously observed at the edge, is created. The patented technology is designed to detect the general signatures of several attack exploitations, including command injection and buffer overflow attacks, and to stop the intrusion attempts in real-time, defending the device's runtime integrity against both zero-day and one-day attacks. This method offers total defense against a variety of CWEs (Common Weakness Enumerations) and promotes a proactive IoT security paradigm, eliminating the need to spend money on reactive patching to catch up with hackers.
"NXP's microcontrollers power devices that will work as the mission-critical backbone of entire industries and cities. We are thrilled to be collaborating with NXP to secure the future of digital transformation and ensure zero-trust from device to cloud. Our products offer companies a unique degree of protection against the most dangerous attack types, and significantly reduce the cost of security-related maintenance, and we are excited to see them used to promote innovation on a global scale,"
Natali Tshuva, CEO and Co-Founder of Sternum
Sternum provides businesses with a comprehensive solution for all RTOS and Linux-operated devices, covering the distinct sector needs of IoT device-level protection and visibility in the medical, industrial 4.0, smart cities, energy, and beyond. Furthermore, Sternum's proprietary technology, based on dynamic code analysis, anomaly detection, and runtime integrity verification, supports a "shift-left" technique by giving developers the resources they need to spot security issues before they are deployed when they are less expensive to fix.
