Cyber Resilience, Built for the Edge, Built by Mercury
Cyber resilient edge systems are the embedded, purpose built compute running inside physical infrastructure and mission equipment — radars, mission computers, drones, cell towers, traffic control systems, industrial controllers, medical devices, and power grid equipment — not the routers, firewalls, or other enterprise IT gear sitting in a data center. This is exactly the environment Mercury supports with secure, edge ready processing solutions designed for mission critical performance at the edge.
“Compliance does not equal security. It did not when I was in industry, and it does not from my seat where I am today.”
- DoW CIO Kirsten Davies. CIO town hall, February 2026 as reported by Breaking Defense
CHALLENGE
Mission‑critical systems often only satisfy compliance—not security—by using detect‑first enterprise IT solutions that are insufficient for nation‑state threats or high‑volume AI attacks.
SOLUTION
Relying on a Zero Trust architecture, cyber resilience goes beyond traditional cybersecurity. Mercury’s cyber-resilient products are engineered with secure hardware and software to prevent high attack volumes and make it easier to operate through cybersecurity incidents.

Cyber Hardening Support for Real-World Attacks
Our experts assess system resilience and identify gaps with program-specific penetration testing, STIG/SRG analysis, dynamic testing, and mission‑focused hardening, ensuring critical systems remain secure and operational in evolving, contested, and disconnected environments. This approach goes far beyond checklist driven industry frameworks, ensuring platforms earn and sustain ATO with security that’s proven under real world threat conditions.
Capture-resilient Technology for Drones and Autonomous Vehicles
Most security architectures assume drone capture can be prevented — but Mercury designs for the reality that it will happen. Hardware‑rooted, zero‑trust protection — including autonomous tamper response, secure boot, mandatory access controls, and isolation protect autonomous and drone technology from exploitation and reverse engineering, ensuring a downed system yields nothing of value to an adversary.
Mercury Driven OS Hardening: The Key to Cyber Resilience at the Tactical Edge
Embedded operating systems are the foundation of resilience at the edge — and Mercury builds them to withstand and autonomously recover from cyberattacks. Discover how Mercury applies hardware rooted identity, secure/measured boot, mandatory access controls, and zero trust principles to protect defense, critical infrastructure, and Linux based systems against escalating threats.
Zero-Trust Protection at the Kernel Layer
To secure decentralized tactical environments, systems must be designed for adversarial access from day one. RelianceOne™ embeds tamper‑resistant, zero‑trust protections directly into hardware and software so mission systems remain resilient through physical capture and digital compromise. Learn how our software enforces kernel-level containment, hardens mission‑critical assets, and maintaining operational resilience even under root‑level compromise.
