SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Developer to demonstrate first open source firmware security framework for IoT

at NVIDIA GTC 2020

NVIDIA GTC Digital [http://nvidia.com/en-us/gtc/ ] — Exein [https://www.exein.io/ ]

CEO Gianni Cuozzo offers the first public demonstration of edge security development

company's ground-breaking open-source security framework for the Internet of

Things (IoT) at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) this week.

GTC, taking place online, from October 5 to 9 2020, is the world's meeting

place for the developers, researchers, scientists and engineers of the global

AI community and provides a forum in which to exchange ideas and push the

boundaries of the field.

In "Open Sourcing IoT Security" and as part of the NVIDIA GTC Inception Startup

Showcase, Cuozzo will explain to GTC delegates how the innovative Exein Core is

embedded in firmware and uses edge machine learning to understand legitimate

device behaviours and so block anomalies and external threats while operating

independently of cloud computing support.

The potential is enormous. According to McKinsey, "the worldwide number of

IoT-connected devices is projected to increase to 43 billion by 2023". Others

predict far greater numbers: 100 per person, or one trillion by 2025. Firmware

is the Achilles Heel – a soft spot that is typically awarded just 1% of budget

for security and continues to offer easy ingress for criminals.

"It's not just security that's at risk," says Cuozzo. "The exploitation of

firmware can compromise safety too, targeting aviation, automobiles and home

safety systems. Exein Core, applied to firmware at the manufacturing stage or

retrofitted to existing devices, will stop such attacks".
