Of course, the details of how these stages are delivered will vary with the environment and technologies you have in place. And, crucially, these audits will involve your key technology stakeholders, so that all parties can have confidence in the analysis, and a clear picture of results and threats.
Get the expert help you need to build effective cyber security strategies and mitigation plans, so your critical technology can handle disruptions to GNSS 1 GNSS = Global Navigation Satellite System signals.
Extended loss of a valid GNSS signal can have a major impact on the timing and synchronisation, and positioning of your operational technology, leading to performance issues and downtime.
Because GNSS signals are low power, it’s not difficult to disrupt or block them, even accidentally. That makes them an attractive target for cyber-attacks – especially if you manage critical strategic infrastructure like power, broadcast, finance, telecoms, transport or government systems.
Our PNT-Assure™ Tech Audit Services can help you ensure maximum resilience when it comes to delivering GNSS security. The analysis follows a four-stage methodology:
- Detailed audit of all your diverse and independent sources of time. This considers your accuracy requirements, and also how time is obtained, distributed and consumed by your applications.
- Threat modelling that identifies possible attack vectors, and considers scenarios that might disrupt your network timing infrastructure.
- Stress testing using state-of-the-art GNSS simulation and test equipment, both live and lab-based.
The creation of a full report of test results, with recommendations for securing and protecting time sources, and also for providing backup.
The service is based on the following framework
