The Global Hardware & Embedded Security Summit
As enterprises grow more dependent on embedded systems, IoT devices, and connected hardware, threats are evolving faster than traditional defenses. Hardwear.io sits at the intersection of research, industry, and enterprise — uncovering vulnerabilities that bypass conventional controls and preparing organizations to protect their core assets. Through CyberEd.io Enterprise & Custom Editions, your teams gain structured access to this leading event.
Unlike general cybersecurity conferences, Hardwear.io focuses exclusively on the hardware and embedded layer.
This is the attack surface adversaries exploit when they want persistence beyond software patches — from firmware-level rootkits to compromised supply chain components.
For enterprises, the implications are immense. Whether you’re a manufacturer securing IoT devices, a healthcare provider dependent on connected medical equipment, or a critical infrastructure operator running embedded control systems, your resilience depends on hardware assurance. Hardwear.io ensures your teams develop the specialized skills needed to identify, assess, and mitigate these threats before they impact your business.
Hardwear.io’s agenda is uniquely hands-on, combining high-value trainings with live research presentations.
This unique blend of formal training and real-world testing prepares enterprises to secure not only their own infrastructure but also their entire value chain. Recent highlights include:
HardPwn Challenges:
Researchers attempt live exploitation of real hardware devices, exposing vulnerabilities in front of the audience.
Interactive Competitions:
Hardware Capture-the-Flag challenges where teams simulate exploitation scenarios, offering practical experience unavailable elsewhere.
Research Track:
Advanced side-channel and fault injection attacks that demonstrate how attackers manipulate chips and processors.
Research Track:
Decapping and microprobing to reveal hardware sabotage or cloning risks in the supply chain.
Research Track:
Secure firmware development strategies for industries building IoT and connected products.
How CyberEd.io elevates Hardwear.io
CyberEd.io transforms Hardwear.io from an isolated event into an ongoing enterprise asset. This approach ensures your participation at Hardwear.io isn’t just about attending a conference — it becomes a deliberate step in your security strategy. With enterprise access, you receive:
Priority enrollment in high-demand trainings
Ensuring your engineers secure seats in workshops that routinely sell out.
Session-to-roadmap alignment
Where Hardwear.io content is mapped directly to your product security and supply chain objectives.
Integration into CyberEd.io’s platform
Where labs, exercises, and tooling demos are converted into structured internal learning.
Executive-level reporting
Turning technical outcomes into business-ready insights for your leadership team.
