EMBArk is a powerful web-based platform that acts as an enterprise interface for the EMBA firmware security scanner. It allows users to upload, analyze, track, and report on firmware vulnerabilities through a centralized system, making complex security data more accessible and actionable. It supports both local and distributed analysis using worker nodes.
