Defense systems often remain operational for decades, making software vulnerabilities difficult to address through traditional patching and updates. Maintaining security across these long lifecycles requires solutions that can identify vulnerabilities, reduce exploitability, and protect software without disrupting critical operations.

In an article published by Military Embedded Systems, RunSafe Security’s Operational Software Assurance (OSA) platform is highlighted for its ability to identify vulnerabilities in deployed software, apply runtime protections without source code changes, and generate evidence to support cybersecurity compliance. The article also discusses how RunSafe’s technology helps defense organizations reduce risk in fielded systems where patching may be delayed by testing, certification, or operational requirements.
