Exein

Exein builds security into the firmware of connected machines instead of adding it after they ship.

Its runtime layer, based on its eBPF and Rust tool Pulsar, runs on Linux and RTOS devices and blocks malicious execution paths in kernel space, sized for hardware with little memory to spare.

A separate analyzer sits in the build pipeline, ingests binaries and SBOMs, ranks vulnerabilities by reachability, and maps findings to the EU Cyber Resilience Act. Buyers are device makers and operators in industrial IoT, automotive, energy, robotics, and healthcare.

The Rome company is now aiming the platform at physical AI: robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles.
