OnBoard Security, which describes itself as a leader in internet of things security, has announced that a graduate student team at the Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute (JHUISI) successfully demonstrated the protection of UAS from cyber attacks.
OnBoard Security contributed to this research effort by providing mentoring, industry insight, and the use of its Aerolink communication security libraries. OnBoard Security says that this is the first implementation of Aerolink outside the automotive industry.
According to OnBoard Security, potential cyber attacks on aerial fleets of UAS are a major concern, especially with UAS being used more and more, and with the increasing automation surrounding this technology.
