DEFEND FROM WITHIN

Secure firmware is the core of secure systems. Give your customers the defense they demand, even when perimeter defenses fail.

EXPLORE OUR INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS

Red Balloon Security provides embedded security for critical infrastructure throughout ICS, BMS, energy, automotive, and aerospace systems for commercial and government enterprises.

Government installations, technology, and communications require specialized knowledge and solutions to maintain the highest standards of cybersecurity throughout their embedded systems and ensure compliance with increasingly demanding regulations.

As more functions, applications, and devices supporting ICS and BMS deployments become connected, security needs to extend beyond risk programs, control room security, and vulnerability patching. Enable proactive, on-device security improvements with Red Balloon technologies.

New and legacy devices in the electrical grid require cybersecurity improvements to combat attacks that threaten to cause physical damage or disrupt power flow. Our industry expertise and solutions can help outfit all devices supporting the grid with protections that anticipate the growing cyber threat to energy delivery systems.

Autonomous driving capabilities, expanded infotainment systems, and automation have massively increased connectivity in the automotive digital environment, which requires robust hardening, runtime protection, and monitoring capabilities.

CASE STUDIES

Find out how Red Balloon technology helped to elevate the customer’s security standard and reputation.

HP ENTERPRISE PRINTERS

The Challenge: Enable the world’s most secure printers by providing host-based run-time intrusion detection and firmware integrity validation.

The Results: Red Balloon’s Runtime Monitoring Solution delivered:

  • More than 80 billion hours of continuous runtime without security failure.
  • More than 4 million total protected devices.
  • Protection provided without any disruption of normal endpoint operation.
Read the Case Study

DARPA RADICS PROGRAM

The Challenge: Bolster the security and rapid recovery capabilities of the electrical grid – even while cyber attackers are trying to prevent service restoration.

The Results: Red Balloon provided embedded defense, which:

  • Enhanced situation awareness, allowing operators to understand the state of a grid’s embedded devices before, during, and after a cyberattack.
  • Improved ability to identify grid cyberattacks and counteract specific attack elements and methods through deployment of Symbiote technology on communications equipment and other essential grid devices.
  • Played a key role on the blue team in a red vs. blue simulation, and demonstrated the effectiveness and responsiveness of deployments bolstered by Symbiote technology.
