Threats We Mitigate

Symbiote is built to stop the failure modes attackers rely on after initial access—before exploits become persistent, repeatable compromise.

On‑Device
Runtime Defense

Symbiote is a firmware-embedded, OS-agnostic runtime protection solution that continuously attests on-device integrity. It monitors memory, control-flow, and process behavior in real time—and can block, reboot, or alert when attacks are detected. Deploys quickly to firmware without required source code access or additional hardware resources.

Runtime guardrails

Policy-driven local response when runtime violations are detected.

TAMPER DETECTION

Detect runtime manipulation and integrity drift as it happens—on device.

CODE + DATA INTEGRITY

Continuous integrity checks for firmware code and mission-critical data.

BUILT TO FIT PRODUCT TIMELINES

Integrates into development workflows without delaying launches.

Ops workflows

Export to SIEM/IDS; dashboards for security and engineering teams

Real‑time visibility

Device health, integrity events, and policy violations

Forensic context

Timeline, attributes, and artifact details for investigation

Fleet Monitoring
& Forensics

AESOP continuously analyzes telemetry streamed from Symbiote‑protected devices and provides off‑board integrity attestation for higher confidence. AESOP forwards alerts into your SIEM using standard transport (e.g., Syslog), supporting triage, correlation, and audit.

Beyond the
secure-boot checklist

Secure boot is essential, but it only protects initial instructions. Attackers now target firmware and runtime behavior after boot. Our runtime defense stack assumes secure boot will eventually be bypassed and safeguards live code, processes, and critical data.

Designed for manufacturers

How Can SYMBIOTE Benefit Your Business?

  • Fewer hotfixes and fire drills thanks to hardened firmware. Proven across 150+ billion device-hours in the field and multiple third-party penetration tests with no exploitable findings.
  • Continuous, on-device attestation that meets firmware integrity standards for regulators, customers, and incident reviews.
  • Confidently position products with verifiable runtime protection, strengthening security claims and competitive differentiation in regulated and high-assurance segments.
  • Measurable savings in Development and QA, plus smoother handoffs through Manufacturing to the end customer—less rework, fewer RMAs, and fewer field incidents.
