Secure and Modernize Legacy Devices
As cyber threats increase, manufacturers face mounting pressure from regulators and customers. They are confronted with the dilemma of whether to continually update legacy devices or opt for replacements. Sternum presents a third option: a cost-effective solution to future-proof the entire fleet through a single firmware update.
Fix or Replace? The Legacy Device Conundrum
Legacy Devices Pose Big Risks
In-field legacy devices often suffer from inadequate security, harboring multiple unpatched vulnerabilities and relying on inadequate security controls that fail to address underlying risks. This poses a threat not only to device itself, but also to the network and connected critical assets.
Aging Tech Outlives Support
Legacy devices often stop receiving security patches well before reaching their end-of-life stages, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. This issue is especially prevalent in critical sectors like healthcare, communications infrastructure, manufacturing, and process control, where the cost of device replacement is significantly high.
Yesterdays' Products Struggle With New Regulations.
New guidelines and regulations call for post-market surveillance and on-device endpoint protection. However, complying with such requirement is an impossible task for aging devices that suffer from resource-constrains and lack of remote visibility.
Bringing New Life to Legacy Devices
Securing Legacy Devices With Ease
Sternum simplifies legacy devices security by implementing on-device runtime protection with minimal engineering effort. It seamlessly integrates into your build, testing, and deployment process, providing agentless security with near-zero overhead and no reliance on external communication.
