The cybersecurity industry today is focused on delivering solutions that prevent entry into a system. While this is necessary, it is undeniable that attackers continue to find ways around these security measures. This paper demonstrates how to go beyond bolt-on prevention tactics to build security into your systems from the start, so they are resilient to successful attacks. You will discover how to make systems secure by design with security solutions that are flexible and easy to integrate during the development phase.

Titanium Secure Boot (a form of Measured Boot) and UEFI Secure Boot are similar in that they verify the authenticity of boot-time components; however, they vary greatly in terms of how verification is performed and to what level of granularity.

Cyber-attacks against high-value combat management and weapons control systems are a growing concern across the Department of Defense. Approaches to securing and defending safety-critical or mission-critical systems like the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) and Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS) vary from basic network firewalls to persistent threat monitoring.

Cyber-attacks against mission-critical combat systems are a growing concern across the Department of Defense. Existing approaches to securing and defending these systems almost universally adopt methods used to protect enterprise systems such as: basic network firewalls, persistent threat monitoring and auditing.

The Wind River® acquisition of Star Lab combines proven anti-tamper and cybersecurity software for Linux from Star Lab with market-leading embedded software solutions for the intelligent edge from Wind River. Together, the Wind River–Star Lab product portfolio can meet the demanding aerospace and defense (A&D) requirements by protecting classified and/ or sensitive data at rest, delivering secure embedded systems, protecting communication between devices and across systems, safeguarding them over time, and responding quickly as new threats emerge.

One question we frequently get is “Why would I use something like Titanium Security Suite, instead of other Linux Security Modules (LSMs) like SELinux or AppArmor?”.

In short, there’s no reason you can’t use both.

SELinux and Titanium primarily differ in their threat model, concept of operations (CONOPS), and flexibility.
