All aviation stakeholders now must comply with the emerging aviation cybersecurity standards known as “Airworthiness Security Process Specification,” identified and first introduced as DO-326A in the US and ED-202A in Europe.

U.S. government and military are taking a lead role in protecting sensitive computers from cyber attack, and solutions finally are on the horizon.

Attacks are getting sophisticated. Examples include Rowhammer, Meltdown, Spectre, and others. System designers need to consider many attack vectors.

Embedded systems for deployment in the field can have vastly different needs for trusted computing and cyber security than those of enterprise systems.

PacStar Enterprise CSfC Solutions (ECS), is a suite of enterprise gateway services designed for classified networks using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.

This technology invention resulted from PacStar’s early and continued significant investment in development of tactical systems designed to meet the security and configuration requirements of the National Security Agency CSfC program.

PacStar ECS is a family of gateway solutions that scale from small installations with less than 100 secure connections to large enterprise-class services supporting thousands of concurrent users.

Reliable, secure communications become much more critical in unmanned systems. If communications are lost, the unmanned system may need to throttle back.
