Case Study: a manufacturer of industrial equipment improves embedded cybersecurity compliance with Promwad

a manufacturer of industrial equipment uncovers critical embedded security risks with Promwad

Promwad performed a cybersecurity audit for a manufacturer of industrial equipment, which needed to assess the security of its Microchip VSC7558-based system to ensure compliance with international standards. The client's challenge was to identify vulnerabilities and evaluate cybersecurity risks across hardware, software, and external interfaces.

Promwad's solution involved a comprehensive audit using the MITRE EMB3D threat model and standards like IEC 62443-4-2 and FIPS 140. The audit identified critical vulnerabilities, including a lack of secure boot and weak cryptographic security. Promwad provided targeted remediation recommendations, such as implementing secure boot and a certified cryptographic library, which enabled the client to improve their product's cyber resilience and move toward compliance, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data leakage.
