A six-member panel of security-minded industry leaders spent a Tuesday afternoon session explaining and exploring what many consider to be an increasingly important, under-examined question: What precautions should companies that use unmanned aircraft be taking to ward off cyber attacks?
The group, along with other security experts not present, took up the question to help the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems develop what is being called a “Cyber SORA” (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) protocol. JARUS is expected to release a document for external comment in the coming week.

Key Pillars for the Unmanned Industry to Achieve Assured Autonomy
As the AUVSI community looks forward to XPONENTIAL 2021, AUVSI hosted an XPONENTIAL Webinar Series to preview the educational programming that will take place virtually and in-person at the event later this year. The week’s programming kicked off with Dr. Cara LaPointe, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Assured Autonomy and an expert at the intersection of technology, policy, leadership, and ethics.
ST Engineering and SafeRide Technologies partner to provide cybersecurity protection for autonomous vehicles
Global technology, defense and engineering group ST Engineering has announced a strategic partnership with SafeRide Technologies to integrate SafeRide’s “vSentry” software cybersecurity suite with ST Engineering’s Connected Electric Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles (AV) platforms.
A “specialist” in automotive cybersecurity, SafeRide Technologies offers “anomaly uncovering” and cyber threat prevention for connected and autonomous vehicles.
Johns Hopkins students use automated driving tech to protect UAS
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.
UAS being used for plenty of good, but counter-UAS still integral for protection of U.S. citizens, speakers say
While UAS are being used in a variety of productive and positive ways, there is always the possibility for this technology to get into the hands of the wrong people, who might want to use it for harm. Protection against those bad users becomes more and more important each day with the constant development of these various technologies, according to speakers during the final day of Unmanned Systems Defense. Protection. Security.
