Exein provides embedded cybersecurity solutions for IoT devices and control systems. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Rome with offices in Germany, Taiwan, and the US, the company focuses on securing firmware and embedded systems across industrial, automotive, and aerospace sectors.

The company's approach involves embedding security directly into device software at the firmware level. Their platform utilizes edge AI technology for real-time threat detection and response capabilities. The security solutions are designed to operate at runtime, protecting devices during active operation rather than relying solely on pre-deployment security measures.

Exein's technology addresses vulnerabilities in IoT and embedded systems, where a significant portion of firmware historically lacked adequate security protections. The company reports protecting over 1 billion devices daily across various industries. Their solutions are designed to help manufacturers comply with security legislation and regulatory requirements, including standards like the Radio Equipment Directive.

The company has experienced substantial growth, with reported year-over-year growth of 450%. Exein has received funding from venture capital firms including Balderton, Lakestar, Partech, and others. The company has been recognized in industry awards including Embedded World Awards and has been featured in Sifted's rankings of fast-growing European startups.
