Trusted Computing for Defense & Aerospace

Curtiss-Wright’s approach to embedded security deploys defense-in-depth and defense-in-breadth strategies to leverage the powerful security features inherent in commercial components and to add additional defense-grade security technologies. Our TrustedCOTS™ framework fully enables the security capabilities of commercial hardware and software technologies to protect applications and data from compromise.

Security Framework

The TrustedCOTS framework includes 3 major data protection domains: technology, data and parts protection.

Data-at-Rest Encryption

Curtiss-Wright proven and certified storage solutions match data security requirements for NSA Type 1, CSfC, CC and FIPS 140-2.

Cyber Security
Data-In-Motion Encryption

Data-in-motion, also called data-in-transit, refers to digital information when transferring between network system nodes.

TrustedCOTS Processing

Our TrustedCOTS products provide confidence in the security and un-compromised protections.

Cyber Security
Trusted Supply Chain

We go the extra mile to protect our supply chain and manufacturing processes.
