We are helping the Department of Defense (DoD) address this vulnerability by embedding cyber hardening across a variety of platforms and control systems that others leave unprotected— even if they’re already deployed. We apply artificial intelligence (Ai) and custom-built products to implement, operate, and maintain cyber hardening tools without the need for costly and risky redesigns. Through our full-lifecycle support, we help protect platform integrity and system uptime with the only complete, compliant cyber hardening suite for military platforms and control systems on the market.

SHIPBOARD CYBER REVIEW

Based on this first-of-its-kind architecture package, we determined potential vulnerabilities, mitigations, and opportunities for cyber hardening as well as a starting point for lifecycle cyber security management at the platform level.
CYBER HARDENING FOR AIRCRAFT CONTROLS

As part of this effort, we developed a number of hardware-based cyber defense techniques to ensure our system’s survivability and reliability in the face of cyber attack, including a System-on-a-Chip-based solution to identify, contain, and recover from attacks on the aircraft 1553 command bus.
