RunSafe Security Platform for Embedded Software

RunSafe Security is an embedded software security company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, United States, with an office in Huntsville, Alabama. It helps makers and operators of long-lived devices in aerospace and defence, energy, industrial automation, automotive, railway and medical technology reduce the exploitability of C/C++ code and firmware that is hard to patch.

The RunSafe Platform has three parts. RunSafe Identify generates SBOMs from the build process for Yocto, QNX, Linux, VxWorks and Windows builds, outputs CycloneDX and finds vulnerable dependencies and license issues. RunSafe Protect relocates code in memory at runtime to stop memory exploits such as buffer overflows and ROP chains without source changes. RunSafe Monitor tracks software crashes to flag likely attacks. It plugs into CI/CD pipelines such as GitLab.

• RunSafe Identify: Generates build-time SBOMs in CycloneDX for embedded software and firmware.
• Vulnerability and license checks: Finds vulnerable dependencies and license compliance issues.
• RunSafe Protect: Relocates code in memory at runtime to block buffer overflow and ROP exploits.
• RunSafe Monitor: Tracks crashes and filters false positives to flag likely threats.
• Broad build support: Works with Yocto, QNX, Linux, VxWorks and Windows, including MIPS targets.
• CI/CD integration: GitLab gates on KEV and critical findings and opens merge requests.

An industrial controller maker in Vietnam can protect existing PLC firmware against memory exploits without a full code rewrite. A rail signalling supplier can deliver SBOMs with each software release. An automotive electronics team can gate GitLab builds on known exploited vulnerabilities before shipping ECU software.

Device makers can protect legacy and long-lived binaries against memory corruption attacks without rewriting code, which matters when field updates are rare. Build-time SBOMs give an accurate component list for compliance and customer requests. GitLab pipelines can fail automatically when high, critical or known exploited vulnerabilities appear, stopping risky releases early.

Memory safety flaws in C/C++ remain the main source of exploitable bugs in embedded devices, and regulators in the US and EU now expect SBOMs and secure-by-design practices from device makers. Vietnam and Southeast Asia host a growing base of electronics, automotive and industrial equipment production, where firmware security is becoming a buyer requirement.
