Last week, the European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF 2025) brought together Europe’s leading innovators working across data, AI, and the compute continuum. As part of the EXTRACT project cluster session, our colleague Mariia Gavriushenko represented Binare—highlighting how firmware cybersecurity underpins trustworthy, scalable, and mission-critical data workflows.
The DataNexus cluster — including EXA4MIND, EXTRACT, Graph-Massivizer, and NEARDATA — showcased three years of results addressing extreme data challenges. Their contributions demonstrated how next-generation orchestration, AI-driven workflows, and high-performance platforms can accelerate innovation across energy, manufacturing, smart cities, crisis management, and beyond.
From the EXTRACT booth, Mariia engaged with organisations exploring distributed sensing, digital twins, large-scale analytics, and edge-to-cloud infrastructures — all eager to understand how secure-by-design principles support the broader data and AI value chain.
- What was your primary role at EBDVF 2025, and how did it support Binare’s involvement in the event?
My primary role at EBDVF 2025 was to represent the EXTRACT project and showcase its potential for cross-domain reuse, while simultaneously highlighting Binare’s expertise in IoT firmware cybersecurity within the broader data and AI ecosystem.
At the stand, I engaged with potential stakeholders, explained how EXTRACT’s compute-continuum orchestration could support secure, distributed analytics, and positioned Binare as a relevant partner for trustworthy, secure-by-design workflows.
This helped raise visibility for Binare among organisations interested in data pipelines, edge-cloud infrastructures, and trustworthy AI — domains where cybersecurity and firmware integrity are critical components.
- What topics or questions did visitors most frequently raise during their interactions at the EXTRACT booth?
Visitors consistently asked about: How EXTRACT can be reused in their own domain — especially in smart cities, IoT infrastructures, research workflows, and large-scale analytics. Integration possibilities — whether the platform can plug into existing pipelines, tools, and edge devices. Trustworthiness and governance — questions about fairness, transparency, energy efficiency, and compliance with EU AI/data regulations. Scalability and performance — especially how EXTRACT handles high-volume streaming data and makes decisions about where computation should run. Opportunities for collaboration — including pilots, open-source contributions, and future Horizon-style initiatives. The overall interest was very high among organisations dealing with distributed sensing, digital twins, and data-intensive AI applications.
- What key insights or takeaways do you bring back from EBDVF 2025 for Binare and its ongoing work in the data and AI ecosystem?
The main takeaway is that security and trust are becoming foundational expectations in any data-intensive or AI-driven workflow — not optional add-ons.
Across discussions, it was clear that organisations are looking for solutions that combine:
- secure edge devices,
- transparent analytics pipelines,
- traceable data flows, and
- automated orchestration across distributed environments.
This presents a strong opportunity for Binare:
- to position firmware security as a key enabler of trustworthy edge-to-cloud ecosystems,
- to collaborate with projects that need reliable, secure IoT foundations, and
- to align with EU initiatives focusing on secure, compliant data infrastructures.
Events like EBDVF confirm that Binare’s expertise in automated firmware analysis, SBOM generation, and vulnerability detection is highly relevant to the emerging compute continuum and trustworthy AI landscape.
Binare enables organisations to build secure and trustworthy edge-to-cloud ecosystems by ensuring the integrity of the IoT and device layer. Our automated platform delivers deep firmware vulnerability analysis, SBOM generation, and continuous security monitoring — helping teams reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and support secure-by-design data and AI workflows.
If you’re developing IoT infrastructures, digital twins, or distributed analytics pipelines, Binare is ready to help you secure the foundation they rely on.
