EIV (Embedded Integrity Verification) by Sternum is a runtime protection software technology designed for IoT and embedded devices. It provides on-device security through binary instrumentation, preventing code and memory manipulation attempts and ensuring system integrity. EIV integrates into the firmware build process, offering agentless security with minimal overhead and no reliance on external communication. It uses binary instrumentation techniques to integrate security measures directly into device firmware, protecting all running code, including third-party binaries and OS libraries. EIV operates autonomously to ensure device protection without requiring agents or external communication, making it suitable for sensitive devices.
