Encrypted Firmware and OTA Updates
- AES-256/GCM firmware encryption
- Secure key management and rotation
- Failsafe OTA update workflows with rollback support
Runtime Protection and Isolation
- MPU/MPMMU configuration for memory segmentation
- Stack overflow detection and runtime integrity checks
- Application sandboxing (e.g., OP-TEE, SELinux)
Embedded Device Identity and Authentication
- X.509 certificates and mutual TLS
- Secure device provisioning at scale
- Unique hardware-bound credentials
Threat Modelling and Risk Assessment
- STRIDE, DREAD, and PASTA methodologies
- Industry-specific threat surface analysis
- Security posture audits for existing firmware
Regulatory and Standards Compliance
- ETSI EN 303 645 (consumer IoT)
- NIST 8259A (US federal IoT security)
- ISO 21434 (automotive), IEC 62443 (industrial), IEC 62304 (medical)
