Exein operates in the cybersecurity sector, specializing in the protection of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The company has developed a security platform that provides runtime protection, meaning it actively monitors and defends devices while they are operational. This is achieved through its proprietary engine, Pulsar, which is based on eBPF technology and written in Rust, designed for threat detection within embedded systems.

The company's business model is centered on providing this security solution to device manufacturers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). By integrating Exein's technology into their products, these clients can offer more secure devices to the market. The platform addresses the entire lifecycle of a device, from analysis to monitoring and defense, aiming to secure the software and firmware from internal threats.

Exein serves various industries that utilize connected devices, with a specific mention of the automotive sector, where it helps secure in-vehicle firmware and systems. The company makes money by selling access to its security platform and its associated tools, such as Exein Analyzer and Exein Runtime, to businesses that manufacture and deploy IoT devices.
