Cybersecurity in the defence industry

National security agencies handle highly sensitive information that, if compromised, could threaten national security. They must prevent unauthorised access and ensure that data remains confidential and integrated.

That is why the defence industry requires high assurance solutions, protecting national security. Assurance is something that must be included from the start of a product design by the correct development processes and security mechanisms. It cannot be added or tested afterwards. Every step in the development, from design to the aftermarket, must be controlled to ensure high assurance.

Not everybody can be a producer for the defence industry. To design, develop and produce products for the national security segment requires control of all aspects in the development project as well as all aspects of the product. No question can be left open, answers must be provided. The questions range from “who has access to change the design?” and “do the production personnel have correct security clearance?” to “how can one make sure that there are no covert channels?” and “how do we make sure an internal failure does not affect the security?”.

Security regulations for national security

You might have to follow a law saying that you must use approved encryption products. One of these laws is the Swedish Protective Security Ordinance. This regulation entails that all organisations, public and private, that handle information that is classified as needing security protection and is to be communicated to an information system outside of the organisation’s control, must protect the information with the help of cryptographic functions approved by the Swedish Defence. This applies both for the one sending, and receiving, secret information.

If your organisation falls under this or any other regulation, you need to raise the level of your information security and make sure you use the right security products. Important to know is that it could be that you would benefit from using cybersecurity products with certain certifications, such as an N3 data diode, as this would be satisfactory during an audit.

Why you can trust the products from Advenica

Advenica is a well-established provider of high-level IT security components to several countries’ armed forces and government agencies with national security interests. Our products have been well proven in highly operative environments and are used for communication up to TOP SECRET.

Our customers place high and stringent demands on our equipment. It has to function in extreme operational conditions, and for example manage communication over low-quality radio, over several satellite hops as well as over standard high-quality fibre and electrical infrastructure.

To be able to handle this, product development at Advenica differs in various ways from traditional development work. Our customers require us to be able to vouch for and demonstrate that our solutions are secure with a high level of assurance. We can only do that if all work takes place under strong security protection and if the solutions are easy to trust, that is, they can be easily evaluated. High demands on security mean that we develop and produce important parts of solutions ourselves. This allows us to ensure the IT security protection for the development and production environments, the shell protection of the premises including the access to reliable and security-conscious personnel.

Common use cases for businesses in national security

Secure communication with remote sites

Many organisations depend on information exchange with remote sites. Communication between the main office at one location and a small office somewhere else is needed. These offices are connected using the Internet, but sending confidential or sensitive information on the Internet is not an option in most cases.

Secure Unidirectional File Transfer

A common need in a segmented network environment is to import and export files between different zones. File transfer and file sharing is done both between people and machines, using several different technologies depending on the environment. However, file transfer can quickly become a challenge when the zones also have different security classifications.

Secure updates

Updates for Windows and Linux systems are an important part of maintaining the security of the digital information in these systems. However, the updates themselves may be a security risk – to avoid these risks and to maintain the integrity and availability of the systems and be able to make secure updates, special solutions are required.

Secure centralised logging

Most IT-systems generate logs that enable troubleshooting and traceability. To benefit from such logs, it is important to combine logs from many systems. But with security-sensitive or zoned systems, you need to use special solutions to mitigate the increased risk of attacks that come with centralised logging.
