ProvenRun

ProvenRun is a cybersecurity company focused on securing embedded systems for the Internet of Things (IoT). The company develops security software for embedded environments, with its flagship product being ProvenCore, a secure operating system designed for embedded devices such as smartphones, vehicles, and critical infrastructure components.

ProvenRun's core methodology is based on formal methods — a mathematical approach to software verification that checks all execution paths for all possible input variables. This technique is used to produce what the company describes as "secured-by-design" components, aiming to eliminate vulnerabilities at the design stage rather than addressing them reactively after deployment.

ProvenCore has achieved EAL 7 certification under the Common Criteria framework, which is the highest level of security assurance defined by that standard. The company offers multi-layer protection spanning the full embedded system stack, including hardware, drivers, the embedded operating system, middleware, and user-facing applications. Their solutions support multiple hardware architectures, including ARM and RISC-V.

The company's target market includes organizations operating in sectors where embedded system security is critical, such as telecommunications, automotive, and critical infrastructure. ProvenRun positions its offering around a prevention-first security philosophy, using mathematical proofs to reduce the likelihood of software bugs and vulnerabilities in complex embedded environments.
