Layers of Defense:Resilient PNT Cybersecurity

For a resilient positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) solution you need to build layers of defense, which includes physical security to RF security, network security, application security and ongoing maintenance/support..


How Orolia Provides Resilient PNT Cybersecurity 

Physical Security

RF GNSS Security


Network Security

Orolia's resilient PNT network solutions help protect against cyberattacks with the following features:


Resilient PNT Application Security

Orolia's Resilient PNT applications include built-in security such as:


Maintenance Process

We scan continuously against CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), and issue routine software update releases with safeguard protections.

How to Defend Against Cyberattacks that Affect PNT Data 

While no solution can fully guarantee your protection against cyberattacks that affect PNT data, there are a few simple steps you can take to protect yourself against the most common threats.

  1. Use only Resilient PNT solutions that offer comprehensive layers of defense, such as those provided by Orolia.
  2. Have jamming and spoofing protection in place, such as BroadShield, Orolia's 8230AJ GPS/GNSS Anti-Jam Outdoor Antenna, or the GPSdome Anti-Jammer.
  3. Always ensure that you have the latest Resilient PNT software updates with a complete maintenance plan. Update Your SecureSync Software Now
