Software from firmware to cloud
Markus Kräutner, Dipl.-Inf., managing director of idastroem GmbH. 25 years of software development for electronics and industrial automation.
25 years of series production
25 years of software development for electronics and industrial automation. I know what works in the field and what does not.
Security built in
Connected products need secure boot chains, secure updates and a plan for when things go wrong.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes product security an obligation; which measures apply in detail follows from the risk analysis. I support you in implementing them in your firmware.
Understanding the actual state
I look into code, schematics and build systems myself and understand where your product stands. My advice is based on that.
Afterwards, I support you during implementation.
Focus areas
Embedded security: secure boot, TrustZone, encrypted firmware, secure OTA updates
Cloud operations: container orchestration, PostgreSQL, hosted in Germany
CRA consulting: exposure, SBOM, reporting processes, technical documentation
Reference: series-production IoT device with secure OTA
For torcbrain I developed large parts of the software of a connected cordless high-torque screwdriver: from the secure bootloader with IP protection and signed OTA updates to the device cloud that idastroem operates to this day. The product has been in the field for over two years. More in the blog.
Why idastroem
idastroem is deliberately small: I develop myself, make the technical decisions myself and remain your contact after the start of series production; I have been operating the product cloud of the torcbrain devices for over two years. I like working on connected devices that stay in the field for many years and whose software has to hold up that long. For electronics development and legal advice I work with established partners.
