The Biggest Misconception People Have About Securing Embedded Systems

Why “No Solution Exists” Is the Biggest Myth in Embedded Security

In this video, RunSafe Security CTO Shane Fry addresses one of the most persistent myths in the world of embedded systems. Many think that there are no viable security solutions or that any attempt to secure devices will lead to operational disruption. Shane explains why traditional antivirus tools are incompatible with systems like PLCs and why newer AI-based solutions often create more problems than they solve. He introduces a more practical approach: lightweight, low-impact security embedded at the firmware level with no added cognitive load. With RunSafe, device manufacturers can integrate protection without compromising performance, uptime, or user experience. Whether you’re securing water treatment facilities, oil and gas systems, or factory floor equipment, embedded security is not only possible, it’s practical.
