Product Security

Proactive Risk Management for Product Development Teams

Secure attack surfaces across your product life cycle using our scalable security practices & frameworks.

Our expertise goes beyond application security. We help you manage cryptographic keys, spot and evaluate firmware vulnerabilities, automate testing, and block attacks on code, APIs, and connected systems.

From development and testing to deployment and maintenance, Diconium’s product security engineers help you develop a trusted, compliant, and secure product.

Four Ways We Ensure Product Security

Strong product security safeguards intellectual property, reduces breach risks, ensures regulatory compliance, and builds lasting customer trust. It also streamlines incident response, helping teams contain threats quickly and minimize business impact.

Here’s how we ensure you launch a secure product.

PKI as a Service

PKI protects connected products by securing device identities, encrypting data, verifying firmware, and enabling authenticated OTA updates while ensuring end-to-end data integrity.

Firmware Vulnerability

Detect hidden threats in supplier firmware with accurate SBOMs, CVE reports, and risk insights to strengthen supply chain security and avoid costly post-release fixes.

Test Automation Framework

Penetration Testing

How Product Security Wins Customer Trust and Market Share?

Strong product security directly influences customer adoption by reducing the perceived and actual risk of using a product. By demonstrating protection of data, privacy, and safety, companies reduce this risk and increase purchase confidence.

For regulated sectors like automotive, IoT, and healthcare, compliance with standards such as ISO 21434, UNECE WP.29, IEC 62443, or FDA cybersecurity requirements is a non-negotiable condition for market entry. These credentials give buyers a measurable reason to prefer one product over another, especially when making procurement decisions in industries where a breach can have safety or financial consequences.

Products without these certifications often face launch delays or are excluded from RFPs and tenders that mandate security compliance.

Over time, consistent delivery of secure, incident-free products strengthens market reputation, leading to positive industry reviews, higher trust scores in procurement evaluations, and ultimately, increased market share.

Why diconium?

Working with leading brands in the Volkswagen Group has sharpened our insight into what matters most to you. Our teams are structured, and our services are designed to deliver accurate, actionable outcomes quickly, addressing challenges such as supplier complexity, tight launch schedules, and stringent regulatory demands.

How does Diconium deliver product security?

Our process is designed to detect risks others overlook and resolve them without delaying launch. Here’s a look into the proven approach that has secured complex, high-stakes products under the toughest industry demands:

Enquiry & Requirements: Gather product scope, security goals, regulations, timelines, and supplier details.
Scope Definition: Identify in-scope systems, testing needs, and risk assessment areas.
Risk & Threat Analysis: Perform threat modeling to find vulnerabilities in firmware, APIs, and integrations.
PKI Setup: Implement PKI for secure identities, firmware signing, and OTA authentication.
Firmware Analysis: Scan binaries, create SBOMs, detect CVEs, and validate supplier components.
Test Automation with Diconium Auto Cybersecurity Evaluation (DACE): Automate security validation with CI/CD integration and repeatable tests.
Penetration Testing: Simulate real-world attacks to expose exploitable weaknesses.
Remediation: Provide prioritized fixes and work with teams to close gaps.
Final Validation: Re-test, verify PKI, and confirm firmware integrity before launch.
Delivery: Provide audit-ready documentation, SBOMs, and security reports.

FAQ

What industries do you provide product security for?

We secure connected products in automotive, IoT, industrial automation, and other sectors requiring compliance with global cybersecurity standards.

How early should we involve you in product development?

At the design stage, to prevent costly rework. We also address mid-cycle risks without delaying release.

How do you work with multi-supplier ecosystems?

Modern ECUs often contain software from multiple suppliers, which creates blind spots and integration risks. We analyze delivered firmware, validate SBOMs, and detect version mismatches across components. This helps OEMs spot hidden vulnerabilities, hold suppliers accountable, and avoid costly integration delays.

Can you integrate with our existing development and testing workflows?

Yes. Our DACE framework integrates with CI/CD pipelines for automated, standards-aligned security testing.

What gives our pentesting approach an edge?

At Diconium, pentesting is performed by engineers who have secured complex projects within the Volkswagen Group. They combine deep knowledge of embedded product architectures with attacker techniques, exposing vulnerabilities in firmware, ECUs, and APIs that off-the-shelf IT tests overlook.
