Embedded Security
Securing Devices from Design to Deployment
Embedded devices are at the core of critical infrastructure, industrial control systems (ICS), and consumer IoT—but they often lack the security protections needed to withstand today’s threats. Our Embedded Security services ensure robust protection at the hardware, firmware, and software levels.
Standard Security Approaches Don’t Work for Embedded Systems
Many embedded devices are designed with functionality as the priority, leaving security as an afterthought. Unlike traditional IT systems, embedded systems often lack security patching, rely on outdated cryptographic protocols, and have limited visibility or monitoring. This makes them a prime target for threat actors looking to exploit vulnerabilities at the hardware, firmware, and software levels. Additionally, regulatory pressures around embedded security are growing, requiring manufacturers and organisations to implement stronger protections.
We take a security-first approach to embedded systems, identifying risks at every layer—from hardware design and firmware protections to cryptographic implementations and secure boot mechanisms. Our expertise spans IoT, ICS, medical devices, and automotive security, ensuring embedded systems are designed, implemented, and maintained with resilience in mind.
Key Benefits of Our Embedded Security Approach
Security at Every Layer
We assess risks across hardware, firmware and software to ensure complete embedded system protection.
Threat Modelling & Secure Design
Our experienced team work with you to build security into devices from the ground up, addressing attack vectors before they become threats.
Firmware & Bootloader Protection
We ensure firmware integrity across validated boot processes, signed updates, and protections against reverse engineering.
Cryptographic Hardening
We identify encryption strength, key management, and secure communication protocol weaknesses that could lead to data compromise.
Supply Chain Security
We assess third-party components and dependencies to reduce supply chain risks and ensure device integrity from manufacturing to deployment.
Real-World Attack Simulations
We conduct controlled attack simulations to evaluate the resilience of your embedded systems against sophisticated threats.
Featured Case Studies
Streamlining CPS 234 Compliance with MRP
In the face of stringent regulatory requirements outlined in APRA’s CPS 234, Active Super, a prominent superannuation fund, sought an effective solution to enhance their information security framework. MRP was the solution.
Contextual Security Awareness Training for IA Group
IA Group, a leading provider of workforce solutions across Australia, recognised the need to move beyond generic security training and build a security-conscious workforce capable of identifying and responding to modern cyber threats.
Toustone’s Journey to ISO 27001 Certification and Beyond
Toustone, a leading Australian data analytics company, recognising the need to strengthen its information security practices, embarked on a strategic initiative to enhance its security posture by pursuing ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
What Our Clients Say
Building Resilience in Embedded Security
Embedded security is no longer optional—threat actors increasingly target IoT, industrial systems, and connected devices to compromise business operations, steal data, and disrupt critical services. Our Embedded Security services provide comprehensive protection, from secure design principles to real-world attack simulation, ensuring your devices remain resilient against emerging threats.
