Sternum IoT Security and Observability Platform is an embedded security and monitoring solution designed for IoT device manufacturers and builders. It uses patented EIV™ (Embedded Integrity Verification) technology baked directly into firmware to deterministically prevent code and memory manipulation attempts at runtime, without requiring a traditional agent. Key capabilities span three areas: Security & Protection: - On-device intrusion detection and prevention built on RASP and XDR principles, protecting against 0-day and 1-day exploits - Supply chain security by operating at the binary level, covering all running code including third-party software - Elimination of CVE chasing by blocking exploit attempts regardless of whether patches have been applied - Compliance support for frameworks and regulations including FDA, NIST, and IEC 62443 Threat Intelligence & Monitoring: - AI-powered threat detection that correlates device telemetry, blocked attack data, and user activity to surface emerging threats, brute force attempts, and DDoS behavior - Centralized dashboards with customizable alerting and fleet-wide visibility Operations & Observability: - Remote debugging with live and historical access to logs, CPU/memory usage, network stats, battery levels, RSSI, and temperature data - Scalable fleet management for tracking firmware versions, deployment status, location, and connectivity - Early bug detection during development via runtime code and memory profiling - Unified single-pane-of-glass interface supporting Linux, RTOS, and mobile platforms The solution targets resource-constrained devices, with less than 3% CPU overhead, and is universally compatible across devices and operating systems.
