Protecting Mission-Critical Systems Against Memory-based Cyber Attacks
The complexity of mission-critical systems makes them increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks that could compromise national security, operational integrity, and personnel safety. RunSafe Security’s solutions are specifically tailored to meet the stringent demands of aerospace and defense, providing advanced protection without compromising the performance or functionality of vital systems.
Protect Weapons Systems from Cyber Attacks
Cyber hardening of mission-critical software systems has become an essential requirement in today’s defense and aerospace industries. Cyberattacks are now integral to adversaries’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), whether from near-peer competitors or unconventional threats.
Legacy systems, many of which were designed before the emergence of modern cyber threats, are particularly vulnerable due to their lack of inherent security measures. The original developers are often no longer available to provide support, leaving these aging systems as significant targets for adversaries. It’s not just legacy systems at risk—modern warfare systems like drones, command and control systems, ground stations, and even the most advanced aircraft, such as the F35, face similar cyber threats.
Ensuring the cybersecurity of these mission-critical systems requires robust, integrated solutions that can protect against both known and unknown threats, secure the integrity of the supply chain, and maintain the operational readiness of military assets in the field.
Weapon system programs across the US Department of Defense (DoD) are increasingly implementing RunSafe protections to enhance the cybersecurity of critical systems. Software development teams within the DoD and Defense Contractors are integrating RunSafe at build time to ensure robust protection during runtime, addressing the unique security challenges faced by mission-critical software.
Advanced Threat Detection and Response
Proactively defend against emerging cyber threats with proactive vulnerability identification and code protection to neutralize potential risks before they materialize.
Automated System Security
Effortlessly implement automated security measures that continuously protect your systems, ensuring consistent and effective defense against evolving threats.
Adhere to Stringent Cybersecurity Regulations
Ensure compliance to regulations, including standards like the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
Securing Defense Systems with Real-Time Vulnerability Identification and Code Protection
RunSafe addresses the heightened risks associated with the increasing use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and open-source software in defense systems by providing comprehensive vulnerability identification and code protection solutions. In environments where timely patching is often impractical, especially in tactical deployments requiring continuous operation, RunSafe’s technology identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities in real-time, even within legacy systems, ensuring that potential threats are addressed before they can be exploited.
RunSafe’s code protection solutions go beyond simple patch management by integrating security directly into the build process, creating robust defenses active from when the software is deployed. This proactive approach secures the software supply chain, safeguarding against known and unknown vulnerabilities without constant patching. By maintaining the integrity and security of mission-critical systems, RunSafe ensures that defense and aerospace operations remain resilient in the face of evolving cyber threats.
Proven Security Solutions for Defense and Aerospace Systems
RunSafe’s security solutions have proven highly effective in defense and aerospace environments by delivering resilient protection for embedded systems and critical infrastructure. Our platform secures complex architectures by hardening binaries against memory-based exploits.
Through runtime protection mechanisms, including memory randomization and function diversification, we ensure operational integrity and safeguard against sophisticated attacks. These deployments demonstrate the platform’s adaptability, reliability, and capacity to meet the stringent security requirements of defense and aerospace applications.
