Trusted security for Aerospace & Defense
In aerospace and defense, system integrity, component traceability, and sovereignty are non-negotiable. Counterfeit or spoofed electronics can introduce backdoors, data leaks, or failures in mission-critical environments.
CyberRock delivers post-quantum-resilient authentication, ensuring every electronic parts, chip configuration and sensor is verified from supply chain to lifecycle end.
Compliance and Sovereignty Challenges
Regulations like ITAR, CMMC, NIS2, and CRA mandate traceability, audit-ready records, and resilience against emerging threats. While defense procurement cycles are long, feasibility studies and pre-standard initiatives allow organizations to move ahead of formal regulation.
CyberRock’s on-premise edge server simplifies compliance with Common Criteria certification, reducing in-house expertise needs while enhancing sovereign control.
Why cybersecurity matters in aerospace & defense
In aerospace and defense, loss of trust in electronics can be direct operational risk — from mission failure to loss of sovereign control, disrupt operations, and endanger lives—beyond potential financial losses from downtime. CyberRock embeds immutable hardware-anchored security into every network node, from avionics boards to the smallest sensors in drones or satellites.
Complex supply chain vulnerabilities
Aerospace and defense rely on global, multi-tier supply chains (many layers deep) for components like electronic parts, chip configuration and sensor. Counterfeits may function normally but hide risks: data leakage to unauthorized parties, malfunctions in extreme conditions, or backdoors granting remote access.
CyberRock verifies originality and provenance, ensuring only certified electronics from approved sources enter systems.
Service and maintenance integrity
Aircraft, helicopters, and defense vehicles are serviced in globally distributed depots. How do you confirm replaced electronics are original? Approved supplier lists help, but deep chains allow substitutions.
CyberRock enables real-time authentication of assembled electronics, detecting non-original parts during maintenance or upgrades.
Anti-Tamper and secure commands
In high-stakes applications like drones (produced in thousands for low cost), cheap electronics heighten tampering risks—altering field responses or enabling hacks. Modern warfare jams or commandeers drones in addition to destroying them.
CyberRock builds secure command structures via authentication, preventing unauthorized control. It supports secure firmware updates, secure boot, and encrypted communication, ensuring commands are verified in split seconds.
