Sternum
The Future of IoT Security, Observability & Data.
Overview
Sternum is an IoT security and observability platform that provides deterministic, on-device runtime protection against exploitation of known and unknown vulnerabilities. Its patented Exploitation and Fingerprinting (EFP) technology prevents memory corruption attacks in real-time without requiring source code access or patching. The platform also offers observability features, including monitoring, log management, and crash analysis, giving developers and security teams deep insights into device performance and health from a centralized cloud platform.
✨ Key Features
- On-Device Runtime Protection (Agentless)
- Zero-Day Vulnerability Prevention
- Memory Corruption Attack Prevention
- Device Observability and Monitoring
- Crash Reporting and Analysis
- Threat Detection and Alerts
- Firmware-Agnostic Integration
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Deterministic runtime protection that prevents exploitation rather than just detecting it.
- Unified platform combining security with observability (monitoring, logging).
- Low performance overhead, making it suitable for resource-constrained devices.
Unique Value: Provides proactive, deterministic runtime protection against the most common and dangerous attack vectors (memory corruption), securing devices from both known and unknown threats without requiring constant patching, while also delivering deep operational insights.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Runtime protection for medical infusion pumps.
- Security and monitoring for smart meters.
- Firmware integrity for industrial controllers.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations looking for network-level visibility and segmentation.
- Security for non-embedded systems like cloud servers or mobile phones.
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike static analysis tools that find vulnerabilities pre-deployment or EDR solutions that detect attacks post-facto, Sternum provides real-time, on-device prevention that stops the exploit from ever succeeding, with minimal performance impact.
