THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
ADS is scalable, the only solution on the market that can sit on IoT devices running RTOS, and the only post-market solution for legacy devices. It applies to a wide range of IoT devices – low-end, high-end, Linux-based, and more – with no configurations or changes to existing code required.
Fremont, CA: Sternum, the IoT cybersecurity company providing embedded protection and real-time visibility for connected devices, launched its Advanced Detection System (ADS), an agentless data analytics solution that can be seamlessly embedded onto a wide array of IoT devices. With its analysis of data gleaned from closed source binaries from within a device, ADS is the first and only product capable of providing manufacturers with a resource-light method for detecting vulnerabilities and exploitations that pose a threat, all while improving data analytic capabilities to enable better-performing devices.
By 2025, more than forty billion IoT devices are predicted to be in use, yet until now, manufacturers have had to depend on agent-based solutions, which are resource-heavy. Sternum breaks from this conventional and cumbersome approach by offering an agentless monitoring solution that can be effortlessly injected into a device's code. The solution can effectively monitor all suspicious events and attempts to breach devices and further garner proprietary insights about a device's internal operations, software functions, and third party code, long a blind spot for device manufacturers across the board.

Because ADS operates from within a device's code, the solution can detect software bugs, flaws, and vulnerabilities that hamper device security and are excessively common in unmanaged Bluetooth-capable devices.
ADS has recently proven its capabilities by detecting BLESA (Bluetooth Low Energy Spoofing Attack)-type exploitation attempt. BLESA, a logical vulnerability generating from authentication issues in the device reconnection process, is one of many logical vulnerabilities that ADS can detect in real-time using its algorithmic cybersecurity engine.

"Manufacturers understand that device analysis is only as good as the data they are able to obtain, which is why we are launching a first-of-its-kind solution that unlocks access to hidden data points and creates new insights. Comprehensive visibility from within embedded IoT devices ensures that OEMs are immediately alerted to exploitation attempts, security flaws, and much more. ADS enhances their offering to their clients and enterprises by streamlining these real-time alerts into the enterprises systems." said Natali Tshuva, Sternum's CEO and co-founder.
The ADS platform joins Sternum's Embedded Integrity Verification (EIV) solution. When utilized together, both ADS and EIV work symbiotically, the former continuously collecting and monitoring cyber and operational events, while the latter proactively prevents attack attempts in real-time.
