aDolus FACT - Malware Detection is a commercial industrial control system security tool by aDolus Technology. Sternum Runtime Protection is a commercial industrial control system security tool by Sternum. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best industrial control system security fit for your security stack.
Based on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise teams managing software supply chains will get the most from aDolus FACT because it consolidates multiple antivirus engines and YARA rules into a single malware detection workflow, catching threats that isolated scanners miss. The tool maps component relationships to identify hidden infection paths, and covers NIST GV.SC (supply chain risk management) and DE.AE (adverse event analysis) with actual depth rather than surface-level compliance. Skip this if you need post-infection response or threat hunting; FACT stops at detection and doesn't help you understand how malware moved through your network after the fact.
Mid-market and enterprise teams protecting IoT and embedded devices in operational technology environments should consider Sternum Runtime Protection if zero-day mitigation without patching is your primary constraint. The EIV binary instrumentation approach delivers memory corruption and code injection prevention at 1–3% CPU overhead, which matters when you can't halt production systems for updates, and the agentless firmware integration avoids the deployment friction that kills most IoT security programs. This tool prioritizes attack prevention and forensics over vulnerability management; if your organization needs vulnerability scanning or patch orchestration, you're looking elsewhere.
