Hardware and Systems Assurance Solutions
A Serious Challenge to our Nation’s Supply Chain
Productive hardware security and software security require that commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) remain uncompromised. We develop and implement revolutionary microelectronics inspection and security assessments that enhance the safety of the nation’s military, as well as civilian critical assets.
Through cyber-physical analysis and data analytics that incorporate AI/ML algorithms, we deliver effective, adaptable, and practical detection and monitoring solutions that quickly find threats, mitigate them and stop others from breaching your architecture.
The Battelle Embedded System Assurance
Eco-System
We ensure microelectronics supply chain security through automated, non-destructive hardware and software solutions that quantify the trust and assurance of COTS PCB assemblies.
Battelle applies tools and expertise to quantify risk throughout the entire platform life cycle for safe introductions of commercially sourced chips, embedded cyber programs and more. We offer the following assurance and monitoring solutions:
