Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Sternum Platform is an IoT security product for device makers and manufacturers that need protection built into embedded devices. Its EIV technology is integrated into device firmware to block code and memory manipulation attempts, while the platform adds monitoring and threat detection across devices and fleets. The stated fit includes teams working with embedded Linux and RTOS devices, with Linux and API listed as supported platforms. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise organizations rather than buyers seeking a general-purpose network security suite.

The product's strongest distinction is its embedded runtime focus. Device- and fleet-level telemetry, anomaly detection for suspicious behavior and communications, real-time alerts, and centralized dashboards connect runtime protection with ongoing monitoring. For investigations, Sternum provides forensic context about mitigated attacks, along with log management and remote debugging. Custom policies can use filters, event counts, allowlists, and thresholds. This makes the platform relevant to teams that need both controls within device firmware and visibility into activity across a deployment, rather than only perimeter monitoring.

For broader security operations, Sternum can share data with SIEM or SOC platforms through a REST API, and deployment options include cloud and self-hosted. The published offer includes a 21-day evaluation, while pricing requires contacting sales. Email is the listed support channel, and GDPR is among its stated compliance attributes. The product is a reasonable fit for IoT makers seeking embedded protection and fleet investigation context; organizations looking for wider network-security coverage, or a published price before engaging sales, should consider alternatives.
