Why are systems at the edge susceptible to reverse engineering?
Systems at the edge are often deployed unattended, in hostile environments where they can be lost and accessed. Attackers can probe and analyze hardware components to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. They can also extract or replicate software to steal intellectual property.
Why is Zero trust more difficult to implement in edge computing systems?
Most Edge computing subsystems comprise of multiple integrated processing modules. For these subsystems to be zero trust, they need to internally validate all inter-module inter-module interactions across subsystems, and all intra-module interactions within a single subsystem at each module’s’ boundary. This requires subsystem designs with multiple modules to implement internal cyber-defenses in case a module becomes compromised.
How does BuiltSECURE speed the security subsystem development process?
BuiltSECURE rugged, security-proven building blocks are backward compatible and developed using a system-level design approach for interoperability and ease of pre-integration. They decrease the risk, time, and cost to develop and verify processing systems handling sensitive information.
How many years of experience does Mercury have in systems security engineering (SSE)?
Mercury’s comprehensive systems security engineering (SSE) expertise has been built on the successful execution of multiple DCS and FMS export programs over the past two decades.
