Periphery's technology protects the embedded computers—running Linux, RTOS, or Android—found in drones, autonomous vehicles, wearable devices, rugged network gateways, and other mission-critical IoT platforms. Designed specifically for complex and resource-constrained environments, their solutions defend against ever-evolving cyber threats across the lifecycle of defense assets.
Periphery addresses the critical challenge of maintaining security and compliance in the field. Their tools allow embedded systems to be security-hardened both before and after deployment, ensuring resilience even in hostile or disconnected environments. Once deployed, devices continue to be monitored in real-time, enabling the immediate detection of anomalous behaviour or breaches—wherever they occur.
Founded by former NATO and BAE Systems engineers, Periphery brings deep expertise in securing complex, high-risk environments. The founding team has spent decades working on the front lines of national security, where they identified the critical need for scalable, lightweight cyber defense tailored to embedded systems.
Today, Periphery operates internationally from its UK headquarters, working closely with defense partners to safeguard next-generation technologies across land, sea, air, and space domains.
Periphery Insights is a regulatory readiness assessment purpose-built to accelerate compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), NIS2, and other emerging defense and critical infrastructure cybersecurity requirements. Designed for embedded military systems, Insights delivers a rapid, one-week gap assessment and readiness review, providing clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your platform.
At its core, Insights performs a comprehensive risk and vulnerability analysis using Periphery’s proprietary embeddable agents to generate a complete and continuously updated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). This enables the identification of risks in third-party and open-source components, including outdated libraries, misconfigurations, and software supply chain threats—alongside detailed remediation guidance.
Expert regulatory advice and support is provided throughout the assessment period. They also combine real-time telemetry analysis with penetration testing, enriched by threat intelligence gathered from Periphery’s global network of honeypots and emulated attacks. This intelligence-led approach ensures your embedded systems are not only compliant—but resilient—against real-world adversaries and the latest cyberattack methods.
Outpost provides unparalleled cybersecurity for the embedded computers within your mission-critical devices. These embedded computers, often purpose-built for a single function, are integral components of larger systems, from industrial control units to defense apparatus.
Outpost delivers real-time threat monitoring and defense by continuously analyzing telemetry and behavioral data from these embedded systems, enabling early detection of anomalies and suspicious activity. What truly differentiates Outpost is its ability to deploy a lightweight image of its advanced AI model directly onto the device’s embedded computer. This on-device intelligence empowers the device to protect itself autonomously, even in air-gapped environments; those physically or logically isolated from external networks like the internet, which are prevalent in highly sensitive sectors such as critical infrastructure, defense, and autonomous systems.
By embedding preventive logic and adaptive mitigation strategies directly on the device, Outpost closes the crucial gap between detection and protection. It can neutralize threats in real time, countering critical attack classes such as OS command injection, memory corruption, privilege escalation, and firmware tampering. This proactive approach limits exploit windows and ensures continuous compliance with evolving cybersecurity requirements, all without the need for constant patching or external connectivity. The result is unparalleled situational awareness and resilience, safeguarding the mission integrity and safety of your most vital operations.
