The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as drones, is rapidly expanding, with the commercial drone market expected to grow from $8.2 billion in 2022 to $47.4 billion in 2029, a 28.6% CAGR. Drones are being used for:
UAVs are critical to industries that operate in difficult-to-reach areas or require immediate response to situations.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), Eurocontrol, ICAO, and European Safety Agency (EASA) are responsible for ensuring the safe operation of UAVs in their jurisdictions. Cyber attacks and drone hijacking are the result of weak security and a lack of encryption used in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
Many commercial drones are designed to be customized using software development kits (SDKs) that leave the implementation of security controls as an option. The entire UAS is often vulnerable with minimal security controls. Implementing and managing digital certificates, public key infrastructure (PKI), authentication, and encryption are either too complex or an afterthought. Complicating matters, because UAVs operate in public space, they broadcast IP addresses that are easy to scan and target.
BlastShield is a zero-trust network access (ZTNA) solution that provides a highly-secure and easy-to implement solution that protects the UAS end-to-end. BlastShield software agents are easily deployed on aircrafts, control stations, mobile devices, and cloud applications to create a software-defined perimeter (SDP) that includes phishing-resistant MFA for users, granular access controls, encrypted communications links, and a security orchestration system that can operate in the cloud or on-premises.
BlastShield replaces hardware-based VPNs and complex, certificate-based PKI management to dramatically simplify UAS security. BlastShield’s patented cloaking mechanism makes UAVs invisible to external attackers.
Gaining access to the BAS is like getting the keys to the kingdom. Ensuring Zero Trust Access to the BAS and protecting it from unauthorized access and control, as well as securing data collected and transmitted by BAS is the foundation for BAS cybersecurity.
The BlastShield Client provides user access into the BlastShield network. The Client is downloadable software for Microsoft Windows, macOS, iPhone iOS,and Android.
The BlastShield Host Agent is software that is easily deployed on any aircraft, control station, physical or virtual machine running Linux, including Yocto,Microsoft Windows, and macOS servers.
The BlastShield Orchestrator is a cloudbased or on-premises application that provides a single-pane of glass to manage Users, Agents, Groups, and Policies. The Orchestrator can also be hosted by the customer on-premises.
BlastWave securely connects Industrial Control Systems, Operational Technology, and Critical Infrastructure networks with Zero Trust Protection and delivers industrial-grade cybersecurity with consumer-grade ease-of-use.
