The Embedded Systems Vulnerability Division (ESVD) within CIPHER leverages extensive expertise in hardware, software, network, and RF communications to identify and evaluate cyber vulnerabilities in military assets, industrial control systems, and critical infrastructure systems. CIPHER researchers participate in Department of Defense working groups on cyber
vulnerability assessments and collaborate with Georgia Tech faculty on the security of IoT and critical infrastructure systems. They have evaluated a wide range of systems from aircraft and radar simulators to smart grid and building management systems.
