Protect satellites, aircraft, ground segments, and payload systems with device-layer defenses—without re-architecting legacy platforms.
Aerospace platforms are long-lived, supply-chain dense, and increasingly connected. That combination creates attack paths that don’t look like traditional IT—and can be hard to patch in the field.
Aerospace platforms are designed to last, and updates often require certification, maintenance windows, or operational approval. That delay gives attackers more time to weaponize known weaknesses and makes compensating controls at the device layer critical.
Mission systems rely on vendor firmware, reused libraries, and outsourced subsystems that don’t share a single security baseline. Without device-level controls and visibility, inherited vulnerabilities can persist across generations of platforms.
RF interfaces and specialized protocols expand the attack surface beyond traditional networks, especially in contested or denied environments. Attackers can target weak authentication, parsing bugs, or misconfigurations to influence device behavior or data integrity.
Ground tools, update workflows, and monitoring systems are often connected to broader enterprise environments. If the ground segment is compromised, adversaries can pivot into fleets, push malicious updates, or disrupt mission operations at scale.
Maintenance access, depot environments, and potential capture scenarios create opportunities for hardware/firmware extraction. Defenses that raise reverse-engineering cost and detect tampering help protect mission IP and reduce persistence.
Reduce attack surface, block runtime threats, and instrument device-level telemetry across mission systems—without hardware redesigns.
Reduce attack surface and strengthen resilience across legacy firmware without hardware redesigns.
Detect integrity drift and block unauthorized execution paths on embedded systems in real time.
Centralize telemetry, alerting, and reporting to support mission operations and response workflows.
Designed for constrained updates, long service life, and high availability—so you can increase attacker cost without disrupting mission behavior.
INTEGRATE PROTECTION WITHOUT REDESIGN.
Add device-layer defenses across OSes, processors, and third-party components—without re-architecting your platform.
SECURE LONG-LIVED DEVICES IN THE FIELD.
Protect systems where patching is slow, support is limited, or firmware versions are mixed.
IMPROVE SECURITY WITHOUT DOWNTIME.
Add protections that respect availability, safety, and operational requirements in mission-critical environments.
GET DEVICE-LEVEL VISIBILITY THAT NETWORKS MISS.
Telemetry from inside the device improves detection, scoping, and response beyond perimeter-only signals.
MOVE BEYOND CHECKLIST SECURITY.
Reduce burden by adding protections that operate inside the device—more durable than process-only controls.
SUPPORT PROCUREMENT AND COMPLIANCE WITH CLEARER CONTROLS.
Make security expectations easier to communicate, validate, and defend during customer reviews and audits.
Device-layer controls and telemetry can support security assurance activities during certification and continuing airworthiness—especially when patching is slow or constrained.
Support security assurance activities when patching is slow and lifecycle constraints apply.
Improve visibility and evidence collection for audits, incident response, and fleet maintenance.
Add controls in ways that respect performance, safety, and operational constraints.
