Exein announced a strategic partnership with Mesh Systems. Together, the companies will help manufacturers strengthen security at the source, starting with firmware security assurance before devices ship, while supporting readiness for EU cybersecurity regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED), as well as the US Cyber Trust Mark.
Mesh Systems supports companies building or connecting devices across the full product lifecycle – from early design and development through deployment and ongoing management. Under the partnership, Mesh will offer Exein’s embedded cybersecurity capabilities as part of its customer engagements, providing manufacturers with enhanced security assurance for firmware and connected device software, as well as the operational support required to translate regulatory obligations into practical compliance programs.
Embedded security and EU compliance readiness
Connected-device manufacturers are facing growing pressure to demonstrate stronger product security, not only from escalating threats – the average cost of a data breach in the US has surged 9% to more than $10 million – but increasingly from regulatory requirements. Many companies with international operations are now regularly seeking guidance on EU cybersecurity obligations, with CRA and RED compliance becoming a near-term commercial priority for all those that sell into European markets.
Responding to a changing threat landscape at the edge
Together, Exein and Mesh will offer an end-to-end approach spanning pre-deployment security assurance and in-field resilience, helping manufacturers move beyond point products focused only on code analysis or network-level visibility, toward runtime edge protection that remains effective even when devices are offline.
The partnership comes as sensitive workloads – including AI inference and model execution – increasingly move from protected cloud environments to edge devices,…
