Exposing Embedded Security Gaps: Emproof at Embedded World 2025

3rd March 2025 – Emproof will be at Embedded World later this month to highlight the growing threat of reverse engineering in embedded systems and demonstrate how manufacturers can better protect their devices from exploitation.

Many OEMs rely on encryption and hardware security, but attackers are increasingly bypassing these measures by exploiting vulnerabilities in software. Using widely available tools like Ghidra, hackers can extract cryptographic keys, steal intellectual property, and modify firmware, often without needing advanced technical expertise. As these threats grow, regulatory bodies are introducing stricter security requirements for embedded systems.

At Embedded World, visitors to Hall 4, Booth 4-139c can explore practical ways to strengthen software security and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Experts from Emproof will demonstrate how embedded developers and manufacturers can protect their firmware against reverse engineering, code injection, and other emerging threats, without disrupting workflows or requiring access to source code.

With regulatory deadlines such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) approaching, compliance is an increasing concern. Independent testing by Cetome has confirmed that Emproof Nyx, a binary-level security solution, reduces attack surfaces and helps mitigate security incidents, offering a practical path to meeting regulatory requirements. Designed to work across architectures including RISC-V, ARM, Tri-Core, and x86_64, Emproof Nyx enables manufacturers to implement robust software security without disrupting their existing embedded system designs.

For those wanting a deeper understanding of reverse engineering risks, Nils Albartus, Embedded Security Specialist at Emproof, will present Demystifying Reverse Engineering Attacks on Embedded Devices on 11th March at 12:00 PM as part of the Safety & Security session (Session 3.1). His talk will break down how attackers analyse embedded software, what tools they use, and how businesses can stay ahead with effective mitigation strategies.
