Embedded device security platform providing firmware-level runtime protection and observability for connected medical and IoT devices.

Key Features

  • Firmware-level runtime protection
  • Embedded device observability
  • Exploitation prevention without patching

What It Helps You Do

Protect devices at runtime Prevent exploitation without patching Gain on-device observability

What Sets Them Apart

Protects devices from the inside at runtime — valuable for devices that can't be patched or taken offline.

How Sternum Uses AI

No AI/ML

HTMwire's independent read on the technology — not the vendor's marketing claim.
