Avy partners with DEFION to safeguard sensitive drone data

Challenge

Avy is a European supplier of drones and related hardware and software for emergency services, businesses, and defense. The drones collect sensitive data, ranging from images for fire and police services to information about objects in critical infrastructure. With today’s political climate and increasingly strict security requirements in the sector, it became crucial for Avy to ensure both the privacy of individuals and the security of this data. To continue delivering reliable and secure drone technology to European customers, Avy needed its systems to be airtight from a security perspective.

“The sector and the partners we work with maintain high security standards. Protecting the privacy of individuals in the images and the sensitivity of the information the drones collect, such as on objects in critical infrastructure, requires our security to be airtight. With Defion, we are working with a professional partner who can support us at the right level. The collaboration also fits perfectly within our strategy to deliver reliable and secure drone technology to European customers.”

Solution

Defion’s specialists carried out a structured analysis of the entire architecture: from hardware such as the drones and docking facilities, to the cloud software offered by Avy. Working together with Avy’s development team, they mapped vulnerabilities and the overall attack surface. This quickly highlighted the low-hanging fruit, and Defion provided clear guidance for Avy to act upon. Based on the findings, improvements were implemented and measures were taken to further strengthen the infrastructure.
