# Runtime Defense and Monitoring





Continuous protection and attestation for embedded devices in production — purpose-built to defend connected vehicles, ECUs, and zonal architectures from runtime compromise.











					WHY RUNTIME DEFENSE MATTERS



## Three commercial outcomes Runtime Defense delivers




















###

							Contain Recall & Liability Exposure




						Patch firmware in-field without callbacks. Reduce warranty risk and post-sale defect liability.
























###

							Stabilize Lifetime Software Security Spend




						Continuous defense replaces the cost spiral of reactive patching, retesting, and incident response over a vehicle lifecycle.
























###

							De-Risk Compliance & Protect Market Access




						Meet UN R155/R156, CRA, and NHTSA cybersecurity guidance with evidence-grade runtime attestation.



















					HOW IT WORKS



## A continuous defense pipeline





Symbiote runs inside the device, defending and attesting at runtime. AESOP correlates and responds across the fleet. Your SOC gets evidence-grade telemetry — without changing the device’s footprint or performance envelope.









### SYMBIOTE



					Continuous Defense + Attestation



							-




										Defends against attacks at runtime


								-


										Provides continuous attestation


								-


										Sends security data to AESOP












### AESOP



					Monitor, Respond, and Alert



							-


										Responds to security events


								-


										Sends alerts to operators


								-


										Shares runtime data with customer SOC












### CUSTOMER SOC



					Security Operations Center



							-


										Monitors devices at fleet scale


								-


										Performs in-depth analysis of events


								-


										Provides runtime data for compliance

					Embedded-resident protection. No cloud dependency. No callback. No compromise.
