Developed through world-class, award-winning research and proven over millions of devices, Red Balloon Security’s solutions provide firmware-level protection to embedded systems in our most critical industries.
Protecting embedded devices in operational technology (OT) systems is a major challenge for equipment manufacturers and users in many industries. The number and impact of attacks on these devices are rising, which threatens both productivity and safety. These attacks can include not just harmful commands from the control room, but also malicious updates, control-flow hijacking, and memory corruption of the devices themselves. Red Balloon’s Symbiote Defense helps secure these devices by continuously checking the integrity of their code and memory at the firmware level. This solution ensures that only authorized software runs on the system and can detect and report any unusual behavior.
Autotomic Binary Reduction (ABR), Binary Structure Randomization (BSR) and our FRAK appliance work together to remove unused features in device firmware, randomize code layout and support our runtime protection solution — and harden device defenses.
Our Symbiote Defense keeps embedded devices safe by continuously checking the integrity of the code and memory at the firmware level and prevents unauthorized codes or commands from executing.
Red Balloon Security’s Symbiote Suite can provide real-time insights into a network of embedded devices while providing operators with unified monitoring, alerts, and forensic analysis.
