Exein is proud to announce a partnership with Grinn, an engineering company based in Wrocław, Poland, that specializes in embedded systems and IoT hardware. Device makers building with Grinn can now add Exein’s runtime protection and firmware analysis to their products, from the very first stage of development.
Grinn supports hardware projects from initial concept to production, covering hardware design, embedded software, mechanical engineering and manufacturing support. It also offers its own portfolio of System-on-Modules and Single Board Computers, built on processors from Synaptics, MediaTek and Renesas, which help developers prototype faster and bring products to market sooner.
Grinn’s major focus is Edge AI: systems that run AI models directly on the device, enabling real-time image and video analysis, object detection and autonomous control. Its solutions power applications in robotics, industrial automation, HMI, computer vision and security. These are exactly the devices where security matters most. When AI runs on the device and controls a machine, a successful attack is no longer only a data problem: it can affect the physical world.
Through the partnership, Grinn customers can choose Exein’s technology as part of the product they build with Grinn:
- Exein Runtime protects devices at the kernel level while they operate in the field, blocking malicious behavior before it can execute, powered by Photon, our eBPF-based enforcement engine.
- Exein Analyzer scans firmware for known vulnerabilities before shipment and keeps monitoring it as new CVEs are disclosed.
- Cyber Resilience Act readiness helps manufacturers meet the new security-by-design requirements for connected products sold in the European Union.
The timing matters. Under the EU Cyber Resilience Act, vulnerability and incident reporting obligations apply from September 2026, and full security-by-design requirements follow. For device makers, building protection in at the design stage is far simpler, and far cheaper, than retrofitting it once products are already in the field.
“Security should be part of the development process from the very start. By partnering with Exein, we’re giving our customers the option to build protection directly into their devices, alongside the hardware and software we develop together. This is becoming increasingly important as connected devices take on more complex tasks and new regulatory requirements, like the CRA, come into play. We want to make it easier for our customers to bring products to market that are not only capable and reliable, but secure as well.”
- Robert Otręba, CEO, Grinn
"Edge AI is moving intelligence out of the data center and into the machines themselves, and every one of those machines has to be trusted by the people who buy and deploy it. Grinn’s customers are building some of the most advanced Edge AI devices in Europe. Together, we give them a faster path to market with products that ship secure, stay secure in the field and are ready for the Cyber Resilience Act from day one.”
- Gary Walshe, Chief Commercial Officer, Exein
Visitors to electronica 2026 in Munich (November 10–13) can see Grinn’s latest Edge AI work at Hall C5, Booth 459, including an interactive robotic-arm demo that combines computer vision and on-device intelligence, a touch-enabled Edge AI gripper, and new products such as the Grinn AstraTwoSBC-261x and Grinn ReneSBC-V2H single-board computers. The Exein team will also be at electronica, and we would be glad to meet you there.
Are you building an Edge AI device with Grinn, or planning your next connected product? Talk to our team to see how Exein can secure it from the first prototype to every day in the field, or explore our technology partners.
