Security Engineering
Embedded & Critical System Protection
Protection for the embedded systems inside critical infrastructure and weapon systems.
Overview
Protect the systems inside your systems.
Systems embedded in critical infrastructure and mission platforms are attractive targets, and a compromise can cause significant damage and disruption. CDT assesses and protects embedded and operational technology with the same rigor we bring to enterprise networks.
What's included
Capabilities
Embedded system assessment
Firmware, interfaces and communications evaluated for weaknesses.
Protection engineering
Controls designed for constrained and safety-critical environments.
Supply chain protection
Component sourcing and integrity addressed as part of the design.
How we work
A proven, repeatable process.
-
1
Requirements
We work with your teams to define mission, performance and compliance requirements up front.
-
2
Architecture
A secure architecture designed around your framework: STIGs, RMF controls or your own standards.
-
3
Build & harden
Systems are built, configured and hardened in advance, with documentation produced as we go.
-
4
Validate
We test the system against its requirements before it goes live, so there are no surprises at inspection.
-
5
Operate & sustain
DevSecOps operations and maintenance keep the system patched, compliant and ready.
