MicroEJ is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with CertX, one of the leading accredited experts in cybersecurity, functional safety, with recognized expertise in AI reliability. By combining MicroEJ’s software-defined device architecture with CertX’s certification and inspection expertise, this collaboration provides manufacturers with a reliable foundation for building the next generation of secure, safe, and intelligent embedded products.
Why CertX? A Partner Synonymous with Independent Assurance
CertX brings deep, accredited and regulator-recognized expertise in cybersecurity evaluation, functional safety certification, complemented by recognized expertise AI/ML robustness assessment, and lifecycle process auditing. Part of the SGS Group, CertX’s operates across industries where a single failure can have serious consequences: energy, medical, rail, transportation, industrial automation, and more.
CertX helps shape devices from the ground up through:
- architecture and design reviews
- rigorous safety and security assessments
- AI trustworthiness and robustness evaluations
- lifecycle and process certification
With CertX onboard, device manufacturers gain independent, internationally recognized third-party assurance, a key differentiator that accelerates market acceptance and builds long-term confidence.
A New Foundation for Secure, Safe, Intelligent Devices
This partnership aligns two complementary strengths:
Cybersecurity by Design
MicroEJ’s sandboxed, virtualized runtime provides strong isolation between components. Combined with CertX’s cybersecurity audits and assessments, OEMs benefit from a robust architectural baseline for building secure embedded products.
Reliable Embedded AI
MicroEJ enables AI on constrained hardware with a lightweight, deterministic runtime. CertX contributes independent methodologies to evaluate AI behavior, robustness, and predictability, ensuring edge intelligence remains controlled, explainable, and trustworthy.
Functional Safety with Clear Boundaries
As devices increasingly blend critical control logic with richer user features, MicroEJ’s deterministic scheduling and partitioning create clean separations. CertX defines and validates safety boundaries so manufacturers can build upgradeable yet rigorously safe systems.
Together, MicroEJ and CertX provide a clear path to reduce risk, accelerate development, and raise the bar for embedded device quality.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
“Our collaboration with CertX strengthens MicroEJ’s mission to support manufacturers in delivering devices that are secure, safe, and ready for advanced software capabilities. CertX brings world-class certification expertise that perfectly complements our virtualized platform. Together, we help OEMs innovate with confidence while meeting the highest levels of industry assurance.“
said Semir Haddad, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at MicroEJ.
“CertX is proud to partner with MicroEJ to embed assurance and certification thinking directly at the core of software-defined embedded architectures. MicroEJ’s platform already enables scalable, modern device software. By combining it with our expertise in cybersecurity, functional safety, and AI validation, we provide manufacturers with a practical, trusted foundation to deploy intelligent products at scale in highly regulated and mission-critical markets.”
said Stéphane Gervais, VP Strategic Partnerships at CertX.
Built for Industries Where Trust Is Non-Negotiable
The combined strengths of MicroEJ and CertX will support device makers in sectors such as:
- smart grid and energy
- medical and healthcare
- robotics and automation
- automotive systems
- industrial IoT
These markets demand technology that is powerful, efficient, and above all, trustworthy. This partnership delivers exactly that.
The Beginning of a Larger Story
This collaboration marks an important step toward helping manufacturers deliver devices that are smarter, safer, and ready for the future.
And this is only the beginning.
