Introduction
We are pleased to announce our partnership with Exein, a cybersecurity company specializing in embedded device security. Through this collaboration, we're expanding the capabilities available to our customers, giving them the opportunity to integrate Exein's runtime protection and firmware analysis into their products from the earliest stages of development.
At Grinn, we believe that security should be an integral part of modern embedded systems, not something added as an afterthought. As connected devices become increasingly intelligent and autonomous, particularly with the growing adoption of Edge AI, protecting them against cyber threats is more important than ever. Our partnership with Exein is another step towards helping our customers develop products that are not only innovative and reliable, but secure by design.
Bringing cybersecurity directly into the development process
Through the partnership, our customers will have the opportunity to integrate Exein's security technologies into the products developed with Grinn:
Exein Runtime provides kernel-level protection for devices operating in the field, detecting and blocking malicious behaviour before it can execute. It is powered by Photon, Exein's eBPF-based enforcement engine.
Exein Analyzer analyses firmware for known vulnerabilities before products are shipped and continues monitoring as new CVEs are disclosed.
Cyber Resilience Act readiness helps manufacturers address the European Union's new security-by-design requirements for connected products.
The partnership comes at an important time for the embedded industry. Under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), vulnerability and incident reporting obligations apply from September 2026, with the broader security-by-design requirements following in December 2027. For manufacturers, addressing cybersecurity during product development can significantly simplify compliance and reduce the cost and complexity of introducing security measures after devices have already entered the market.
“Security should be part of the development process from the very start,” said Robert Otręba, CEO of Grinn. “By partnering with Exein, we're giving our customers the option to build protection directly into their devices, alongside the hardware and software we develop together. This is becoming increasingly important as connected devices take on more complex tasks and new regulatory requirements, like the CRA, come into play. We want to make it easier for our customers to bring products to market that are not only capable and reliable, but secure as well.”
Grinn and Exein at electronica 2026
Visitors to electronica 2026 in Munich (November 10–13) will have the opportunity to explore our latest Edge AI developments at Hall C5, Booth 459. The showcase will include an interactive robotic-arm demonstration combining computer vision and on-device intelligence, a touch-enabled Edge AI gripper, and new products such as the Grinn AstraTwoSBC-261x and Grinn ReneSBC-V2H Single Board Computers.
The Exein team will also be present at electronica, making it a great opportunity to learn more about the partnership and discuss how cybersecurity can be integrated into next-generation embedded devices.
