ANZU Robotics Passes Security Penetration Tests!!!
Here's a big win for the newest American Owned and Operated Drone Company, ANZU Robotics!
If you know me, then you know that I'm stoked about ANZU Robotics. Finally, there is an American owned Drone company that offers the familiarity of foreign drones, with the security features that are being demanded by more and more American companies, along with strict legislation that could ban Chinese Drones if passed.
Anzu partnered with Aloft to create Air Control for the Raptor and the Raptor-T.
They then subjected their software to security penetration tests with White Knight Labs.
White Knight Labs used static and dynamic analysis to evaluate the Raptors security.
In a nutshell, the static tests just "looked" at the code to see if there were any design or implementation flaws.
The dynamic tests actually took the Raptor out and flew it, and, in real time, looked for flaws when in use. These tests covered everything from registration to flight logs.
These tests did find references to Chinese domains, even though no data was sent to them.
Aloft went to work and removed these references when they were identified. Keep in mind that no one told Anzu or Aloft that they had to remove these references, they did it to be proactive. To me, that in itself says a lot about the integrity of Anzu.
White Knight Labs did conclude that all data from the Raptor was transmitted to Aloft Servers. Nothing was leaked or intercepted by unauthorized parties, ensuring that Anzu's customers data is safe.
Aloft values transparency, and engaging reputable third parties like White Knight Labs, which, at least to this guy, reinforces customer confidence in the Anzu Raptor's security. Aloft also undergoes annual SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications and FAA audits, continually improving its security posture.
So, with the success of these tests, it looks like Anzu is poised to be a major contender in the American Drone Industry.
I truly believe that Anzu and Aloft are dedicated to providing a secure and reliable product to its customers, and they are continually improving on their efforts.
I look forward to seeing what this company does next!
