What Sternum does
Sternum is the developer of an endpoint cybersecurity platform designed for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The platform utilises binary instrumentation to offer real-time on-device security and visibility for any IoT device. This provides device manufacturers autonomous protection against threats – even without internet connection – through both source and third-party code.
Bridging the gap
In recent years, cyberattacks against IoT devices have become more sophisticated, common and at higher cost and damage to enterprise. Sternum seeks to bridge the gap in device protection that has left IoT devices with significant vulnerabilities and cybersecurity risk.
Real-time protection
Sternum’s solution is agnostic of the operating system, prevents threats in real-time, in distributed environments, even when the device is no longer connected, and protects and manages both source code and third part code. All of this, at market-leading overheads.
Unified and powerful platform
Sternum aims to deliver a “unified and powerful” platform for protecting all IoT devices. The company offers two key solutions: Embedded Integrity Verification (EIV) technology and the Analytics & Detection System (ADS). These solutions provide device-level protection and visibility in the medical, smart city, and critical infrastructure industries among others.
Expertise and experience
Sternum was founded in 2018 by a team of highly experienced research, development, and business leaders, many coming from the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) elite 8200 unit.
Why we invested
Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices currently outnumber humans by around 3x, and this figure is expected to grow rapidly.
IoT devices have previously been built with function in mind, leaving significant vulnerabilities, and every internet-connected device is at risk of attack.
In recent years, cyberattacks against IoT devices have become more sophisticated, common and at higher cost and damage to enterprise.
The gap in device protection has left IoT devices with significant vulnerabilities and cybersecurity risk. Enterprise IoT cybercrime is expected to cost businesses US$10.5tr by 2025. Sternum uses binary instrumentation to prevent threats in real time at market leading oversight.
