Detect Firmware-Level Attacks on
Embedded Devices and Respond in Real Time
Protecting embedded devices in operational technology (OT) systems is a major challenge for equipment manufacturers and users in many industries. The number and impact of attacks on these devices are rising, which threatens both productivity and safety. These attacks can include not just harmful commands from the control room, but also malicious updates, control-flow hijacking, and memory corruption of the devices themselves. Red Balloon’s Symbiote Defense helps secure these devices by continuously checking the integrity of their code and memory at the firmware level. This solution ensures that only authorized software runs on the system and can detect and report any unusual behavior.
