HwA & Security

For more than 12 years, Invariant scientists and engineers have provided support in the areas of Electronic Hardware Assurance (HwA) and Security to customers within the DoD community.

The vast and complex global semiconductor supply chain presents significant risks to the microelectronic devices found within DOD components and systems. Counterfeit or maliciously altered devices could cause a fielded system to fail catastrophically during a critical time of system operation.  

In recent years, hardware hacking has become much more prevalent, bringing with it a threat that is fundamentally more difficult to counter than software threats, which can often be patched in the field. This is a risk that must be countered through the development of advanced hardware-level security implementations.

Invariant has provided in-depth support to customers in the areas of counterfeit screening, malicious insertion risk mitigation, and hardware security.
