Gain control over your security posture

Spurred by Executive Order 14028, Federal agencies are beginning to require validation of testing and security to anyone selling software to the U.S. government. For a growing number of agencies, this includes connected devices tied to critical networks and infrastructure.

As a result, device manufacturers selling into the government will soon be met with stringent procurement requirements that demand proof of testing and product security. Even if you don’t sell to Federal agencies, these standards will soon proliferate into the private sector, leaving your organization at a competitive disadvantage if you cannot provide assurance that your products are secure.

Finite State’s automated product security platform gives device manufacturers visibility and control over their product risk and security posture, enabling them to instill confidence in the security of their products while meeting ever-evolving standards and reducing time-to-market.

Known Vulnerabilities (CVEs)

Known vulnerabilities often exist for years in firmware code, leaving potential backdoors open to black hats or even nation-state level attackers.

Common Weaknesses (CWEs)

CWEs are software and hardware vulnerabilities that serve as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts within connected devices.

Hard Coded Credentials

When passwords or other authentication is hard-coded in firmware, attackers may use these credentials to gain trust and access to key systems.

Cryptographic Materials

Poorly configured systems may contain files such as private keys that may serve as a backdoor or let attackers impersonate the system, and expired or self-signed certificates can present weaknesses attackers can use to compromise the system.

Insecure Configurations

Some security issues are generated during the build process, such as not using compiler flags for exploit mitigations. Binary analysis allows these weaknesses to be identified and remediated. Other security issues may be introduced after the build process, such as network facing service configurations that leave the device open to attackers.

Unsafe Function Calls

Code containing unsafe function calls can leave firmware vulnerable to injection attacks that can cause denial of service, privilege escalation, or full takeover of the system.
