Robustness
Fail-safe update execution and absolute deployment control in any environment, at any scale
From complete system to individual application updates, ensure products remain operational from first boot to end of life—whether connected to the cloud or completely offline.
The importance of robust software updates
When a failed update incurs millions in downtime
The recent CrowdStrike outage was a stark reminder of what happens when update mechanisms fail at scale, slowing industries, grounding flights, and disrupting essential services. With Mender, you can rely on a battle-tested solution that safeguards rollouts, prevents downtime, and keeps your products operational and secure.

Ensure product reliability across environments, complexity, and scale
End-to-end authentication
Verify device integrity and prevent corruption
End-to-end checksum verification in the client verifies data integrity and ensures secure, tamper-proof update transmission
High availability
Ensure product uptime for every update or change
The built-in dual A/B update strategy ensures devices remain operational, even if an update fails. Rely on built-in automatic retries to recover from failed updates without disruption.
Fleet-wide consistency
Eliminate software fragmentation and version drift
Eliminate software fragmentation by deploying complete software packages to ensure consistent performance across your entire fleet. Support major version upgrades and full restarts without manual intervention.
Risk-mitigated deployment control
Update your fleet with precision and confidence
Control how and when updates reach devices to minimize risk and maximize efficiency. Use staged, phased (canary), or time-delayed rollouts to limit the impact of potential issues. Dynamically group devices by attributes for targeted deployments. Automatically deliver the latest software from the first boot, ensuring every device starts and stays up to date.

Economics of software update systems: Measuring the total cost of ownership for building and buying solutions
Business best practice dictates that organizations focus resources on areas that create market differentiation. Areas that are not a direct source of competitive advantage — such as enabling unique customer experiences or creating new revenue streams — are likely to be infrastructure or operational rather than strategic.
Navigating the CRA regulation: What should international companies care about and why?
In this panel webinar, STMicroelectronics' Mena Roumbakis and Northern.tech's Eystein Måløy Stenberg discuss the practical implications of EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance.
Navigating FDA and MDR Compliance: Managing the Device Lifecycle and Embedded Software Updates in Medical Devices - Dr. Baya Oussena
Regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), ensure the safety, effectiveness, and quality of medical devices. For software-driven devices, compliance is an ongoing process; each update or modification can present regulatory challenges for manufacturers. The rapid pace of software innovation makes navigating regulations more complex. Proactively addressing these challenges enhances quality, improves reliability and safety, and adds value for both patients and healthcare providers.
