Secure Processing

What Is Secure Processing?

Mission-critical systems at the core of aerospace and defense applications are subject to the same security vulnerabilities as advanced systems in other industries. However, the consequences of a security breach are far worse. Security must be built in, not bolted on as an afterthought. Technologies such as FPGA-based cryptography, root of security, secure boot, sensors, fingerprinting and physical protections against system infiltration are just some of the ways to protect mission-critical systems.

CHALLENGE

Protect the system.
Protect the mission.

SOLUTION

Advanced cryptography, secure boot and physical protection technologies like our BuiltSECURE™ technology can mitigate reverse engineering, deliver cyber resiliency and safeguard confidential data and IP against adversarial threats even when a system has been compromised. Combine BuiltSECURE™ technologies with our systems security engineering services to provide the ultimate in security.
