Build lifecycle into the foundation.
Provisioning, device identity, secure communication, updates and decommissioning belong in the design from the start. RIoT Secure treats these as connected responsibilities throughout a device’s life.
About RIoT Secure
Engineering for the life of a device.
Founded in Stockholm in 2017, RIoT Secure builds secure communication and lifecycle infrastructure for connected devices. We help organizations keep devices manageable as hardware, software and application requirements evolve.
Our mission
Make long-lived devices manageable over time.
RIoT Secure exists to make intelligent IoT systems secure, maintainable and sustainable throughout their operational lives. Our mission is to provide the infrastructure that helps organizations provision, operate, update and eventually decommission connected devices.
Devices may remain in service for many years while application logic and AI models change much faster. Lifecycle management needs to support both: a dependable foundation for the device and a practical way to keep its software useful over time.
How we engineer
Lifecycle first. Freedom to build.
Our approach brings security, device maintenance and application development together through clear responsibilities. These principles guide both the platform and the way we work with customers.
Keep application resources dedicated.
Fusion separates application execution from communication and security through dedicated microcontrollers. Application teams retain their development workflow and hardware resources, with a clear boundary around infrastructure workloads. This matters when timing, reliability and predictable behavior are central to the application.
Integrate into existing platforms.
Oasis exposes lifecycle operations through REST APIs, allowing customers to use their own front ends, cloud services and operational workflows. The same operations available in the management console can be integrated into an existing customer-facing platform.
The platform behind the approach
One platform. Clear responsibilities.
The RIoT Secure platform is modular. µTLS provides compact, encrypted communication for constrained devices. Fusion provides hardware separation between application work and communication/security. Oasis manages device lifecycles, updates and integrations.
Brawl adds portable WebAssembly execution for application logic, while Shield adds runtime encryption to help protect application IP on physically accessible devices. Together, these components support evolving firmware, applications and AI workloads within a managed device lifecycle.
The company & its people
Stockholm roots. Embedded experience.
RIoT Secure was founded in 2017 by Aaron Ardiri and Björn de Jounge. The company brings together experience in embedded systems, constrained hardware, cybersecurity and the practical work of bringing connected products into operation.
Our team combines engineering, business development and research. Memory, power, bandwidth, timing and maintainability shape the decisions we make, alongside the customer’s application and operational requirements.
From pilot work to commercial use
Experience from demanding operations.
RIoT Secure supported connected ground-handling devices across more than three years of daily operations at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The deployment brought encrypted communication, device maintenance and operational data integration into an environment where reliability and traceability matter.
The SAS pilot developed into a commercial deployment following work supported through EIT Digital’s SCOUT activity. SCOUT also supported pilot work with Comau and the creation of Ingwaz, RIoT Secure’s daughter company, as part of our commercialization journey.
Research & innovation
Research that follows devices into the field.
RIoT Secure coordinates LIFE-AI, a Vinnova-funded research project running from 2026 to 2028. The work explores lifecycle management for distributed industrial Edge AI, including architecture, repeatable deployment pipelines, controlled updates, monitoring and rollback.
Working with industrial partners connects research to practical deployment needs. The project is part of our continued work on keeping intelligent systems maintainable as their models, software and operating environments evolve.
Innovation funding & company support
Support behind the company.
Research, commercialization and company development involve different kinds of support. We acknowledge the organizations that have supported those parts of RIoT Secure’s journey.
Commercialization funding
EIT Digital · SCOUT
EIT Digital’s SCOUT innovation activity supported RIoT Secure’s commercialization work, including pilot case studies with Comau and SAS. The activity received funding from EIT, a body of the European Union supported through Horizon 2020.
Research funding · 2026–2028
Vinnova · LIFE-AI
Vinnova funds LIFE-AI, an industrial Edge AI research project coordinated by RIoT Secure. The project focuses on lifecycle architecture, repeatable deployment and update workflows, and industrial validation.
