						// FIRMWARE THREAT OVERVIEW


## Why firmware
hardening matters


					**Attackers reuse what’s common:** libraries, predictable layouts, and ubiquitous ROP gadgets. By **reducing and randomizing the attack surface**, predictable device exploitation becomes far more difficult.

									Discover firmware hardening

					](#capabilities)





																Cut costs tied to urgent patching by reducing CVE scores.		Pass penetration tests with zero exploitable findings.		Reduced exposure to safety, revenue, and liability concerns.																																	Provide protection and runtime data for regulatory compliance.		Minimize performance impact on supported targets.		Position products as market-leading in security.
