Emproof

In a world of escalating cybersecurity challenges, Emproof can help businesses safeguard their intellectual property and critical assets. Our flagship software, Emproof Nyx, delivers unparalleled protection against reverse engineering, IP theft, key extraction, and exploitation attacks—securing your embedded systems against today’s most sophisticated threats.

Unlike traditional approaches that require extensive expertise and costly resources, Emproof Nyx seamlessly integrates into existing systems without code rewrites or specialised skills. It’s an efficient, cost-effective solution that reinforces security across new and existing products. By applying Emproof Nyx, businesses can safeguard their software against a variety of threats including:

• Code Protection – Prevents unauthorised analysis and tampering of critical software components.
• Key Protection – Ensures cryptographic keys remain secure and out of reach from attackers.
• Bootloader Protection – Safeguards the boot process from unauthorised modifications or malicious interference.
• Malicious Hacking Protection – Shields against various forms of exploitation, ensuring systems remain resilient against threats.
• Edge-AI Model Protection – Secures machine learning models deployed at the edge, preventing theft or manipulation.
• Python Protection – Hardens software written in Python, a widely used yet vulnerable language in embedded environments.

Emproof Nyx is engineered with functional safety at its core and is certified for ISO26262 ASIL B, with ISO26262 ASIL D certification expected in 2025. Designed for assisting with compliance for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), Emproof Nyx directly addresses critical regulatory requirements such as Attack Surface Reduction and Incident Mitigation—key mandates that will be enforced starting in 2027. Companies that fail to comply with these regulations risk substantial financial penalties, as well as reputational damage and operational disruptions.

Emproof was founded at Germany’s Ruhr-Universität Bochum, a globally renowned research institute known for its pioneering work in cybersecurity. It was here that Emproof’s founders, Marc Fyrbiak, Philipp Koppe, and Tim Blazytko, met while conducting research in IT security. With Marc specialising in hardware security and Philipp and Tim focusing on software security, their combined expertise led them to uncover critical vulnerabilities in embedded systems. These weaknesses, they realised, could have severe consequences in an increasingly connected world.

Rather than redesigning entire systems from the ground up, the team sought a smarter approach—one that would provide robust security while requiring minimal resources. Their answer was Emproof Nyx, a lightweight yet comprehensive software security solution designed to protect intellectual property and prevent exploitation attacks. Hardware and software agnostic, Emproof Nyx seamlessly integrates into existing systems without requiring extensive code modifications, ensuring that security is accessible, cost-effective, and easy to implement.

Whether deployed on bare-metal systems, embedded devices, or desktop applications, Emproof Nyx delivers robust protection with minimal overhead. It is designed to enhance the security of software written in vulnerable languages like C/C++, significantly reducing the risk of reverse engineering, exploitation, and IP theft.
