Exein Partners with MediaTek to Secure Billions of IoT Devices with Next-Generation Embedded Cybersecurity
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an unprecedented pace, connecting billions of devices across industries such as industrial automation, smart homes, healthcare, and automotive. However, with this rapid expansion comes a significant cybersecurity challenge: how to protect these devices from evolving threats while ensuring compliance with global regulations. That’s why Exein is proud to announce a strategic partnership with MediaTek, a global leader in semiconductor solutions, to embed next-generation cybersecurity technology directly into MediaTek’s Genio platform.
Transforming Embedded Security at Scale
MediaTek powers over 2 billion devices annually (Source: MediaTek Official Reports, 2023), making it one of the most influential players in the IoT ecosystem. Through this partnership, Exein’s advanced security platform will be natively integrated into MediaTek’s Genio products, starting with the 24.1 release of MediaTek IoT Yocto. This means that businesses using MediaTek Genio chipsets will have robust cybersecurity protections built in—without requiring complex third-party integrations.
Key Benefits of the Exein-MediaTek Partnership
1. Native Integration of Exein’s Security Technology
MediaTek Genio products will now come with Exein’s cybersecurity platform embedded from the start, ensuring continuous protection throughout the product lifecycle.
2. Accelerated Time to Market
By removing the need for separate security integrations, businesses can develop and deploy secure IoT solutions faster, reducing development cycles and costs while maintaining strong security postures.
3. Effortless Regulatory Compliance
As cybersecurity regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and other global standards become more stringent, Exein’s technology ensures that devices remain compliant—eliminating last-minute security overhauls.
Driving the Future of Secure IoT Development
MediaTek’s commitment to security is a driving force behind this collaboration. CK Wang, General Manager of the Internet of Things Business Group at MediaTek, emphasized the importance of security in IoT solutions:
"Customers want to have the utmost confidence that their products are safe and secure using MediaTek Genio chipsets. To achieve this, we began working together with Exein, a leader in IoT security solutions, to ensure that Genio provides our partners with the peace of mind needed for optimal security and protection."
This partnership aligns with Exein’s vision of embedding security at the core of connected devices, ensuring that cybersecurity is no longer an afterthought, but a foundational element of IoT development.
