About Sternum EIV

Sternum EIV is a security software platform from Sternum Security that provides real-time insights for embedded systems. It combines anomaly detection, runtime protection, and monitoring capabilities so developers can ensure the integrity of their applications. Sternum EIV helps organizations maintain compliance with security standards and respond swiftly to potential threats. This platform is particularly useful for IoT devices, offering functionalities that allow for the identification of vulnerabilities and the application of necessary security patches automatically. Key capabilities: anomaly detection runtime protection monitoring capabilities compliance tracking automated patch management Best for: developers and security teams that need to secure embedded systems in a constantly evolving threat landscape.

Sternum EIV is a powerful and innovative security solution for manufacturers and developers of IoT, IIoT, OT, and IoMT devices. Its core strength lies in its patented, agentless approach to embedding deterministic runtime security directly into a device's firmware, providing robust and proactive protection against zero-day exploits with minimal performance overhead. The integration with the cloud-based ADS platform adds advanced monitoring, analytics, and threat intelligence. While the implementation requires firmware-level integration and some reliance on the vendor's platform for advanced features, EIV offers a unique and highly effective solution for securing resource-constrained devices from the start, enhancing both security and operational visibility.

Pros & Cons

What users like
  • +Deterministic Zero-Day Protection: The patented technology ensures predictable and reliable protection against code and memory manipulation, effectively blocking zero-day and other sophisticated exploits.
  • +Minimal Performance Overhead: Designed to run with near-zero performance overhead, typically 1-3%, to avoid impacting the functionality of resource-constrained IoT devices.
  • +Agentless and Universal: EIV is integrated directly into the firmware, eliminating the need for a separate agent and making it universally applicable across a wide range of operating systems.
  • +Real-time Observability and Analytics: Works with the cloud-based ADS to provide continuous monitoring and AI-powered analytics for actionable insights into device performance and security state.
  • +Supply Chain Security: Integrates security during the development and build processes, ensuring products are resilient from the start.
  • +No Reliance on External Communication: The core runtime protection does not depend on an internet connection, providing robust security even in offline environments.
What users flag
  • Requires Firmware-Level Integration: Implementation requires embedding EIV into the device firmware, which may add complexity to the development and build process.
  • Potential False Positives: The deterministic approach, while effective, might require careful configuration during the build to avoid false positives with legitimate but unusual code behavior.
  • Vendor Dependence for ADS: The cloud-based ADS platform, which provides observability and advanced threat detection, relies on Sternum's SaaS services.
  • Proprietary Technology: EIV is based on Sternum's patented technology, potentially locking customers into a specific vendor for runtime security.
  • Cost of Implementation: While a managed service, the costs and effort involved in integrating it into the build process may be significant for some manufacturers.

Features

Key features

Embedded Integrity Verification (EIV)
A patented, agentless technology embedded directly into device firmware that uses binary instrumentation to deploy verification checks and deterministically prevent code and memory manipulation attempts.
Runtime Protection
Provides on-device, runtime protection against exploitation, including third-party code, by assuring system integrity at all times.
Near-Zero Overhead
Designed for resource-constrained IoT devices, EIV operates with minimal performance impact (less than 3%).
Integration with Advanced Detection System (ADS)
Works seamlessly with the cloud-based ADS platform, which uses AI/ML to identify functional and operational anomalies and provide business insights.
Observability Layer
Offers real-time monitoring and visibility into device behavior, improving quality control and accelerating root-cause analysis for performance issues and security threats.
