Drones and attachments that can be used to carry out weaponized attacks are highly accessible. Although federal regulations exist for drone pilots, hobbyists and nefarious actors continue to cause public safety issues, whether intentional or not. As drone technology and attackers become more sophisticated, physical security, cybersecurity, and surveillance threats increase. AeroDefense’s tested, proven,
A drone breached energy infrastructure with the potential to cause broad power outages. In July 2020, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), or drone, crashed near a Pennsylvania power substation. Officials concluded that its likely purpose was to damage or disrupt the electrical equipment. This drone attack is the first known case of a UAV
Threats to the electrical utility industry are on the rise. From cybersecurity attacks to physical security threats, electrical utilities need to pursue innovative approaches to predicting, detecting, identifying, and responding to vulnerabilities. This level of innovation should follow a streamlined process of various assessments, including risk, threat, vulnerability, and engineering, to determine the most
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, pose a significant threat to organizations across many industries. Due to a drone’s ability to fly anywhere at high speeds, drone operators can potentially disrupt crowds, events, natural disaster responses, and even airline flight operations. When a drone’s speed is combined with its ability to carry optical, wireless,
Security Operations Centers (SOC) must become more intelligent, more proactive, and more collaborative in response to the growing volume and types of threats. SOCs can no longer be reactive, security-centric environments that are dependent on operators to identify issues and events and take the right actions. Instead, SOCs must grow beyond their current boundaries to capture more data,
Drones and robots are becoming increasingly important in the security industry. They can be deployed for good purposes, such as performing security checks and other industrial tasks, but they can also be used for nefarious purposes, in which case a security integrator can engineer an airspace security system that detects unwanted drones. Although they
