Presentation will explore assessing latent risk and developing a strategic approach to evaluating zero-day risk

RunSafe Security, a pioneer of cyberhardening technology for embedded systems across critical infrastructure, today announced that Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Shane Fry will present at the 2025 Embedded World North America Exhibition & Conference being held in Anaheim, California, from November 4– 6.

Fry’s presentation, taking place on Wednesday, Nov. 5, is titled, “Assessing Latent Risks: A Strategic Approach to Zero-Day Exposure in Embedded Software,” and will challenge the outdated “scan-and-patch-everything” mindset while introducing a more strategic approach to evaluating zero-day risk. The session will explore how to assess latent risk and present a practical methodology for assessing zero-day risk by analyzing deployed binaries for the presence of useful Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) chains capable of issuing dangerous system calls. Additionally, the session will address memory-based zero days, which remain one of the most persistent and dangerous risks to embedded systems across industries.

Fry is a leading cybersecurity expert with more than a decade of experience on both the offensive and defensive sides of the industry. His research has spanned all layers of the hardware and software stack, including physical circuit security, secure boot, software update, memory corruption, and web-application vulnerabilities. Fry brings deep offensive cybersecurity experience when consulting on secure system design, architecture, and implementation for private industry, contractors, and United States government systems.

RunSafe Security will be exhibiting at the conference at booth #7084, where Vice President of Growth Jeff Numark and Enterprise Sales Executive Shiv Saxena will share how RunSafe’s cybersecurity solutions are securing embedded software across critical infrastructure.
