Wind River is collaborating with Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions to offer integrated cybersecurity and anti-tamper protections for aerospace and defense systems. This collaboration better enables customers of both companies to meet stringent security and performance requirements needed for mission-critical applications.

Wind River Titanium Security Suite, developed by the Wind River technology protection and cybersecurity group Star Lab, offers a variety of proven capabilities to ensure secure, trusted, and controlled execution, as well as protection from cyberattacks, tampering, and reverse engineering. The suite includes solutions for hardening Linux environments, securely leveraging virtualization, and protecting the boot process and chain.

Wind River software has a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 9,2 approved for use and already deployed successfully on multiple mission-critical systems in the U.S. aerospace and defense market.

Through their collaboration, Wind River and Curtiss-Wright deliver a secure hardware and software solution for applications where trust is critical. Titanium Security Suite has been integrated, tested, and validated on Curtiss-Wright OpenVPX modules, such as the CHAMP-XD1, and will be supported on the recently announced CHAMP-XD1S processor module.

These two industry-leading high-performance modules include built-in Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT), Curtiss-Wright TrustedCOTS protections, and flexible APIs to support secure software solutions. This collaboration between Wind River and Curtiss-Wright enables customers to strengthen system security while minimizing the risk, cost, complexity, and development time associated with bringing secure solutions to market.

“Being secure through the entire software lifecycle must become a core mantra for connected devices on the intelligent edge,” said Michel Genard, vice president, Industry Solutions, Wind River. “By collaborating with Curtiss-Wright, we are helping our shared customers integrate security during the design phase, incorporating advanced cybersecurity and technology protections that meet DoD requirements.”

“As connectivity and the use of artificial intelligence continue to become more widespread, new types of attacks are emerging. For deployed defense systems, a security breach can have catastrophic consequences,” said Chris Wiltsey, senior vice president and general manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions. “By working with leaders like Wind River, we can help our customers accelerate their innovation and development cycles while also preparing their defense systems to guard against ever-increasing cyberthreats.”
