Secure Embedded Military Systems for National Defense
Industry: Military systems
Great Power Competition creates the urgent need for more capable and robust systems. RunSafe Security provides cyber defense solutions proven effective for military use cases, protecting embedded software in weapons systems from cyber exploitation. By implementing RunSafe’s advanced security measures, the military safeguards critical systems against unauthorized access, tampering, and sabotage, ensuring operational reliability and mission success.
Challenge
Adversaries target software in military systems to compromise weapon functionality. This situation is asymmetric with small cyber attack teams developing kill chains for crucial and costly weapon systems. In addition, traditional cybersecurity measures such as scanning and patching often fall short in addressing the specialized needs of these systems, leaving them exposed to potential threats.
“From our perspective, adding RunSafe means we have more opportunity to shrink the attack surface and reduce overall risks for our customers since security is now already built into our product.”
Key Features:
Automated protection for air, sea, space, and ground systems
Minimized attack surfaces
Seamless integration with existing military systems
Futureproof from zero days
Solution
RunSafe offers a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed for embedded military systems.
Key features of RunSafe’s solution include:
- Seamless integration: RunSafe’s cybersecurity measures can be easily integrated into existing systems. Integration uses current software build processes and does not change the original functionality of these systems.
- Automated protection: RunSafe’s solution disrupts attacks before they can impact operations.
- Minimized attack surfaces: By employing software memory protection, RunSafe reduces the potential attack surfaces, preventing adversaries from exploiting vulnerabilities and disrupting operations.
- Futureproof from zero days: RunSafe’s software solutions are designed to eliminate exploitation of the entire class of memory-based vulnerabilities, both known and unknown future vulnerabilities. Memory-based vulnerabilities have the most known exploits targeting them as compared to any other class of vulnerability.
