FIRMWARE HARDENING
FOR EMBEDDED
DEVICES

Reduce exploit chains and disrupt modern attack vectors—without granting source code access or requiring hardware modifications.

// FIRMWARE THREAT OVERVIEW

Why firmware
hardening matters

Attackers reuse what’s common—libraries, predictable layouts, and ubiquitous ROP gadgets. By reducing and randomizing the attack surface, predictable device exploitation becomes far more difficult.

Cut costs tied to urgent patching by reducing CVE scores.
Pass penetration tests with zero exploitable findings.
Reduced exposure to safety, revenue, and liability concerns.
Provide protection and runtime data for regulatory compliance.
Minimize performance impact on supported targets.
Position products as market-leading in security.

// FIRMWARE-LEVEL SECURITY FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

CAPABILITIES

Autotomic Binary Reduction

Eliminating unnecessary and unused code reduces a device’s attack surface, enhancing security and performance.

Binary Structure Randomization

Randomize the layout of code and data, preventing attacks that depend on knowledge of a device’s memory layout.

SysCall
Randomization

Randomize Linux system calls, blocking attacks that depend on predictable syscall numbers.

RGC

ROP Gadget Compression

Randomize memory locations to thwart exploits that rely on Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) gadgets.
