LONDON, UK: NARF Industries plc, a cybersecurity group that specializes in threat intelligence for critical infrastructure, announced a collaboration with MITRE and Red Balloon Security to create a new threat model for embedded software and hardware.
The model, called EMB3D™, will help organizations in the security ecosystem assess and mitigate the risks of cyber attacks on embedded devices that are essential for critical infrastructure.
MITRE is a not-for-profit corporation that manages research and development centers for various US government agencies. Red Balloon Security is a provider of firmware-level security solutions for device manufacturers.
Steve Bassi, CEO of NARF Industries, commented, “This collaboration enhances our work in critical infrastructure security, including sectors such as electrical and gas. Partnering with industry leaders like MITRE to introduce a new threat model to the security ecosystem holds significant importance.”
EMB3D is intended to be a living framework, where new threats and mitigations are added and updated over time as new threat actors emerge and security researchers discover new categories of vulnerabilities, threats, and security defenses. Anticipated to be released in early 2024, EMB3D will be a public community resource, where all information is openly available, and the security community can submit additions and revisions.
