Reverse Engineer and Fuzz Firmware for Operational Technology Environments
REAFFIRM automates Operational Technology (OT) firmware vulnerability detection and FBOM generation, further augmented by cyber digital twin and integrated harnessing tools. Designed specifically for securing Operational Technology, REAFFIRM helps organizations protect the firmware that powers critical industrial systems, embedded devices, and OT infrastructure.
The Challenge: Firmware Is a Major Operational Technology Security Gap
Firmware is one of the most significant and under-protected attack surfaces in Operational Technology environments.
83% of businesses have faced a firmware attack in the past two years [Microsoft], yet most security investments remain focused on IT networks and software rather than OT firmware.
In Operational Technology systems, where availability, reliability, and real-time control are critical, firmware often comes without source code that could be inspected for security issues, depends on specialized hardware, and lacks mature analysis tools. This makes it a prime target for attackers seeking to compromise industrial control systems, embedded networking devices, and OT assets.
