AN ADVANCED FIRMWARE DEFENSE SOLUTION FOR ALL TYPES OF
EMBEDDED DEVICES

Symbiote is the foundational Red Balloon technology. Created in 2011, it is an OS-agnostic product, which means it is effective for any industry or product category that relies on embedded devices. It is compatible with any ECU, gateway, central processing unit (CPU), firmware or hardware platform or operating system

ย 

Symbiote Defense keeps embedded devices safeย by constantly checking the integrity of the code and memory at the firmware level. In essence, it keeps all authorized software running on the system andย prevents exploits that depend on executing unauthorized codes or commands.
