KernelCare IoT

Many manufacturers of IoT devices build-in security features into the products they ship to protect your company from potential cyber attacks. But not all IoT devices are equally secure and not all vendors start their product development lifecycle with security. Besides, new vulnerabilities emerge every day and legacy devices used in the Enterprise may lack an ability to get updates on-the-fly. To keep Enterprise security in place, organizations need to update the devices regularly to protect the data from ever-evolving cyber-attack patterns if and when an update for devices is made available. KernelCare for IoT makes it possible to update IoT devices based on ARM64 without disruption or downtime.

Ideally, an IoT device is based on a trusted platform and ships with no vulnerabilities. Realistically, most devices have bugs which should be fixed as soon as possible to avoid cyber hacks of end-users and liability for a vendor of vulnerable devices. As we connect more devices, the attack surface will continue to grow, and attempts to access products and data will become increasingly sophisticated. However, more often than not, hackers will take the path of least resistance. That is why security patches are so important. Future-proofing beyond device shipping should become an ultimate goal of the OEM. KernelCare for IoT allows updates of embedded devices without interruption or downtime, strengthening manufactured products’ security and eventually increasing trust of the end-users and profits. Live patching for IoT brings zero disruption to devices’ functionality and does not increase maintenance periods.
