Karamba Security

Karamba Security Ltd. is an Israeli cybersecurity company headquartered in Hod Hasharon, Israel, with affiliates in Germany, the United States, and Japan. The company specializes in automotive and embedded device cybersecurity, focusing on protecting connected and autonomous vehicles as well as IoT devices from cyberattacks. Karamba Security develops software solutions designed to secure electronic control units (ECUs) and other embedded systems found in connected vehicles and IoT devices. Their approach centers on runtime protection — hardening device software to prevent unauthorized code execution and cyberattacks without requiring connectivity to a backend security operations center. Their product portfolio includes solutions for in-vehicle cybersecurity, covering areas such as ECU protection, software integrity verification, and anomaly detection at the device level. The technology works by locking down the factory settings of embedded software, automatically blocking any deviation from the original software configuration, which prevents attackers from executing malicious code even after gaining access to the device. Karamba Security targets automotive OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), Tier-1 automotive suppliers, and IoT device manufacturers who need to meet increasingly stringent automotive cybersecurity standards such as ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29 regulations. The company's solutions are designed to integrate into the software development lifecycle of connected vehicle and IoT product development, enabling compliance with industry security requirements while minimizing performance overhead on resource-constrained embedded systems.
