ReFirm Labs is tackling Internet of Things security through the monitoring and validation of firmware for connected devices. The Fulton, Md.-based company recently launched its global certified partner program for its Centrifuge Platform, which provides "automated firmware decomposition and analysis at scale," eliminating the time-consuming manual work of extracting and analyzing firmware from devices to identify vulnerabilities. The company, which raised a $1.5 million seed round in 2017 from investors, works with managed security service providers, value-added resellers and systems integrators. Partners can expect profit margins ranging from 15-40 percent, and the partner program provides extra benefits based on sales volume, including access joint demand generation campaigns, qualified leads and training.
