Securing Cyber-Physical Systems for a Defence Manufacturer

18th Jul, 2024

The Challenge

A defence manufacturer faced significant challenges securing their cyber-physical systems (CPS), leaving their military technology vulnerable. The objectives to support the client were simple:

  • Identify Device Properties
  • Generate Risk Profiles
  • Identify Threat Vectors and Actors
  • Enhance Device Assurance

The Solution

By using the MITRE EMB3D framework, our experts conducted a thorough analysis of the manufacturer’s CPS through:

  • Hardware and Firmware Analysis
  • Communication Protocols Examination
  • Risk Profiling and Assessment
    • Vulnerability Assessment
    • Likelihood of Exploitation
  • Threat Vector Identification
    • Entry Points
    • Attack Pathways
  • Threat Actor Analysis
    • Adversary Profiles
    • Behavioural Patterns

The Impact

Gemserv’s Cyber Threat Intelligence service combined with the MITRE EMB3D framework allowed us to provide to defence manufacturer with:

  • Enhanced Visibility
  • Prioritised Security Efforts
  • Proactive Defence
  • Improved Device Assurance
