The US Army is hosting a Cyber Rodeo event on October 14-15 at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Lynx CTO, Will Keegan, and Technical Account Manager, Daniel Westerberg, will be delivering a presentation about how to implement Zero Trust principles and cyber survivability guidance into avionics applications. Register and attend in person or virtually to learn how Lynx is helping the defense industry prepare for the cyber threats of today and tomorrow.
Date and Time: Tuesday, October 14 | 10:00 - 10:40 AM CST
Location: Room 112, Student Services Building, University of Alabama, or register and attend virtually
Session Description
Real-time systems often include platform and data protection features that are complex and intrusive. These custom solutions can lead to technical and program risks. Current defense industry standards such as MOSA mostly focus on mission-related software interfaces, often overlooking cybersecurity integration. This presentation explores key cybersecurity challenges in developing avionic systems, and how security can be better supported in platform level software. We will also discuss how the aviation and defense industries can improve cybersecurity guidance by including and strengthening security considerations in standards and acquisition plans.
Lynx provides secure platform level software to the aerospace and defense industry. Our MOSA.ic platform is used used in several key defense programs, including the F-35 multi-role fighter, and supersonic jet technology being developed by NASA. Lynx CTO Will Keegan will explore the mission-critical topic of cybersecurity in aviation with a walk-through of how Lynx is implementing Zero Trust principles and cyber survivability guidance in the LYNX MOSA.ic platform. MOSA.ic includes LynxSecure, a bare metal hypervisor, and LynxOS-178, a hard real-time operating system certifiable to commercial and defense aerospace standards for reliability and security.
This presentation will also discuss how how the adoption of the FACE Consortium's MOSA (Modular Open Systems Architecture) guidance can reduce the effort of adding specific security features into a software stack. A product demonstration will be delivered by Technical Account Manager Dan Westerberg, who will show how the MOSA.ic platform can be used to:
- Capture system events and data feeds.
- Analyze security states.
- Visualize operational contexts.
Don't miss this exploration of one of the most important innovation areas in aerospace and defense. See you at Cyber Rodeo!
