Globals Collaborates with CERT-In to Release Landmark White Paper on UAS Cybersecurity
We are proud to announce that Globals, in collaboration with the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), has published a comprehensive white paper titled “Good Practices for protecting Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) against Cyber Security Threats.”
This landmark publication represents a significant advancement in addressing the growing cybersecurity challenges facing drone technology in India and globally, bringing together Globals’ expertise in cybersecurity solutions with CERT-In’s national authority on information security.
Why This White Paper Matters
As Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) become increasingly integrated into various sectors including defense, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and delivery services, their security posture has become a critical concern. This white paper provides essential guidance for:
- Understanding the evolving threat landscape for UAS
- Identifying common vulnerabilities in current drone systems
- Implementing robust security practices across hardware, software, and operations
- Protecting critical infrastructure from potential drone-based cyber threats
Key Insights from the White Paper
The publication offers comprehensive recommendations across multiple cybersecurity domains:
- Threat Modeling Approaches: Including PASTA, NIST, and STRIDE frameworks adapted for UAS
- Communications Security: Implementing strong encryption and authentication for all drone communications
- Software Security Practices: Following secure development lifecycle principles specifically for drone systems
- Supply Chain Security: Ensuring component verification and maintaining software/hardware bills of materials
- Operational Security Measures: Deploying intrusion detection systems and comprehensive logging
Globals’ Contribution to Drone Security
This collaboration highlights Globals’ commitment to advancing cybersecurity in emerging technologies. Our extensive experience in protecting critical national infrastructure and our specialized knowledge in cyber offensive research has enabled us to develop tailored defensive strategies for the aerospace and drone sectors.
The white paper builds upon our existing work in the aerospace and defense sectors, where we provide specialized services including:
- Advanced Threat Detection & Response for aerospace systems
- Tactical Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities
- Protection against sophisticated attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities
- Hardware-enforced security solutions for critical infrastructure
Globals’ Tactical Security Operations Center (TSOC) garnered significant attention at Aero India, where it was showcased as a breakthrough in mobile cyber defense capabilities for mission-critical operations. This combat-ready cybersecurity solution impressed attendees with its advanced threat detection capabilities, ruggedized deployment features, and indigenous development specifically tailored for defense forces and critical infrastructure protection.
The TSOC exemplifies the innovative output from Globals’ in-house R&D laboratory, which was recently granted prestigious recognition by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR). This certification acknowledges Globals’ commitment to developing cutting-edge indigenous cybersecurity solutions and validates the company’s significant investments in research and development of advanced security technologies for aerospace, defense, and other critical sectors.
