It is absolutely imperative that our propulsion systems have the most advanced and effective security available – and that we constantly innovate to stay ahead of the threats.
Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana, and Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have joined the Rolls-Royce Cybersecurity Technology Research Network and have already begun research projects. Carnegie Mellon and Purdue feature prominently in the field of cybersecurity technology and will conduct additional research funded by Rolls-Royce.
Having strong cybersecurity is not optional – our customers rely on us every day to innovate and defeat threats. We must anticipate and defend against any cybersecurity threat, and our products must be cyber-resilient and maintain the confidence of our customers.
We will remain continually vigilant and agile as we evolve our security to meet future threats. Bad actors are constantly planning new methods of cyber attacks and we need to remain ahead of them through our ongoing research efforts. This research network will keep Rolls-Royce at the cutting-edge of product cybersecurity.
