The emergence of the intelligent edge has accelerated the number of these cloud-connected devices that contain multiple specialized sub-processors each with its own firmware layer and often a custom operating system. Many vulnerability analysis and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools find it challenging to monitor and protect devices at the firmware level, leading to an attractive security gap for attackers to exploit.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we have also seen growth in the number of attacks against firmware where sensitive information like credentials and encryption keys are stored in memory. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/2021\/03\/30\/new-security-signals-study-shows-firmware-attacks-on-the-rise-heres-how-microsoft-is-working-to-help-eliminate-this-entire-class-of-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent survey<\/a> commissioned by Microsoft of 1,000 security decision-makers found that 83 percent had experienced some level of firmware security incident, but only 29 percent are allocating resources to protect that critical layer. And according to March 2021 data from the National Vulnerability Database included in a <a href=\"https:\/\/static.rainfocus.com\/rsac\/us21\/sess\/1602603692582001zuMc\/finalwebsite\/2021_US21_TECH-W13_01_DHS-CISA-Strategy-to-Fix-Vulnerabilities-Below-the-OS-Among-Worst-Offenders_1620749389851001CH5E.pdf\">presentation from the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA)<\/a> at the 2021 RSA, difficult-to-patch firmware attacks are continuing to rise. Microsoft\u2019s Azure Defender for IoT team (formerly CyberX) recently announced alongside the Department of Homeland Security a series of more than 25 critical severity vulnerabilities in IoT and OT devices<\/p>\n<p>The challenge in securing these devices starts with securing the supply chain. Device builders typically integrate third-party software and components in their solution, but they are missing the tools and the expertise in analyzing the components they consume and as a result may unknowingly ship devices with security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>This is where ReFirm Labs comes in. Microsoft believes that firmware is not a future threat, but an imperative to secure now as more devices flood the market and expand the available attack surface. We are committed to helping customers protect from these sophisticated threats now and in the future, which is why we\u2019re announcing that we have acquired ReFirm Labs.<\/p>\n<h2>Microsoft will enhance chip-to-cloud protection with ReFirm Labs<\/h2>\n<p>We are excited to announce that ReFirm Labs is joining Microsoft to enrich our firmware analysis and security capabilities across devices that form the intelligent edge, from servers to IoT. The addition of ReFirm Labs to Microsoft will bring both world-class expertise in firmware security and the Centrifuge firmware platform to enhance our ability to analyze and help protect firmware backed by the power and speed of our cloud.<\/p>\n<p>ReFirm are the authors of the well-respected <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ReFirmLabs\/binwalk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Binwalk open-source software<\/a>, which has been used to analyze thousands of device types for firmware security issues, uncovering unpatched common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), insecure secrets, and a multitude of other security problems in plugin IoT devices and embedded firmware. ReFirm\u2019s firmware analysis technology will advance Microsoft\u2019s existing capabilities to help secure IoT and OT devices via Azure Defender for IoT which was recently enhanced with technology from our <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2020\/06\/22\/microsoft-acquires-cyberx-to-accelerate-and-secure-customers-iot-deployments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">acquisition of CyberX<\/a>. Together, we will provide device builders and customers the ability to both discover, protect, and assess device risk both at the firmware and network level and then patch devices with an easy-to-use cloud-based solution as is <a href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/refirmadiotvideo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">explained in this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-93739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs.png\" alt=\"How Microsoft's new acquisition, ReFirm Labs, will help customers.\" width=\"2811\" height=\"1582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs.png 2811w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-2048x1153.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-1083x609.png 1083w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-767x431.png 767w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReFirm-Labs-539x303.png 539w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2811px) 100vw, 2811px\"><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has already taken steps to bring the power of the cloud to help secure and eliminate gaps between hardware and software with the <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/internet-of-things\/edge-secured-core-azure-certified-iot-devices-with-built-in\/ba-p\/2159531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announcement of Secured-core PCs<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/2020\/11\/17\/meet-the-microsoft-pluton-processor-the-security-chip-designed-for-the-future-of-windows-pcs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">creation of the Pluton security processor<\/a> with our partners, and most recently the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/2021\/03\/02\/microsoft-brings-advanced-hardware-security-to-server-and-edge-with-secured-core\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extension of secured-core to servers and edge devices<\/a>. <strong>This acquisition marks the next step in our journey and ability to help secure customers from the chip to the cloud, backed by more than 3,500 defenders at Microsoft and the &gt;8 trillion security signals we process every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are thrilled to take this next step with ReFirm Labs to proactively address what is already becoming the next big attack surface, firmware.
