SYSGO and Karamba Security add runtime protection to ELinOS 8.0
SYSGO and Karamba Security have partnered to strengthen cybersecurity for connected and industrial devices based on SYSGO’s ELinOS embedded Linux operating system, as manufacturers prepare for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
SYSGO, a developer of safety- and security-certified embedded real-time operating systems, recently introduced ELinOS 8.0, which includes security features designed to help customers address evolving regulatory requirements. Karamba Security’s XGuard adds a complementary layer of runtime protection, using eight security barriers alongside ELinOS’s native security features to help defend against automated and AI-enabled attacks.
The companies have jointly tested XGuard’s integration with ELinOS 8.0 to verify that the two technologies operate reliably together in real-world deployments. When deployed alongside ELinOS, XGuard’s runtime defences are designed to prevent vulnerabilities in a device from being exploited while the system is running. According to the companies, this approach does not require source-code changes or continuous signature and CVE updates.
The collaboration also provides a route for ELinOS customers to explore additional protection. SYSGO will refer customers interested in extending their deployments with XGuard’s runtime defences to Karamba Security.
“As the Cyber Resilience Act reshapes requirements for connected devices, our customers need security that comes ready out of the box, not bolted on at the last minute. ELinOS 8.0 is built to help manufacturers meet CRA requirements off the shelf, and our collaboration with Karamba Security extends that foundation with an additional layer of runtime defence for customers who need it,” said Jose Almeida, vice-president of sales at SYSGO.
“Attackers are increasingly using AI to find and exploit vulnerabilities faster than defenders can patch them. Our work with SYSGO is about making sure that defence, industrial and connected systems built on ELinOS have defences that are AI-proof, so a device stays resilient even against threats nobody has seen before,” said David Barzilai, co-founder and chief executive officer of Karamba Security.
In a joint TechCast episode, the companies explain how XGuard works with ELinOS to strengthen connected devices against modern cyber threats, with a closer look at the role of runtime protection.
