FIRMWARE HARDENING

REDUCE YOUR ATTACK SURFACE

Red Balloon Security’s technology removes excess code, services and information from devices while making them faster, more difficult to exploit and less susceptible to vulnerabilities from third-party libraries.

SECURITY AT THE FIRMWARE LEVEL THAT REMOVES EXPLOIT OPPORTUNITIES

Embedded devices rely on firmware, the code that contains a device’s operating and communications instructions. Red Balloon Security’s suite of firmware protection solutions harden firmware protections and repel the growing number of attacks that target embedded devices in many mission-critical systems.

Autotomic Binary Reduction (ABR) is an embedded security solution that removes unused features from binary embedded device firmware and reduces a device’s available attack surface.

Binary Structure Randomization (BSR) is an embedded security solution that randomizes the code layout and data at a binary level across firmware images, defeating attacks that rely on knowledge of the code layout. 

The OFRAK appliance is utilized in the firmware build process to automatically apply firmware hardening (ABR & BSR) and inject the runtime protection.

THE MOST ADVANCED SECURITY SOLUTION DELIVERED WITH SPEED, EFFICIENCY AND ANTICIPATION OF EVOLVING ATTACK METHODS.

Red Balloon Security’s technology stands out for its simplified deployment and focus on the particular challenges of securing embedded devices. We’ve designed ABR, BSR and OFRAK to keep your devices functional and consistent with their operational requirements while protecting them at the source from external vulnerabilities.

Reduce Exposure to Vulnerabilities

Limit access to your devices and the tools available to an attacker if they gain a foothold. Reduce the patches and firmware updates needed to keep up with the growth of vulnerabilities in libraries and operating systems.

Deploy to Firmware
in Minutes

Follow a standard device firmware build and apply the security in minutes, without R&D interactions, using the automated system.

Randomize Memory
& Code

Increase the difficulty and time required to exploit a vulnerability while expanding the window for your vendors and users to react to vulnerabilities.

No Source Code Required*

Apply protection automatically to the final firmware without exposing intellectual property or disrupting device behavior and R&D resources.
(*Access to source code can accelerate the process).
