DARPA RADICS PROGRAM

Protecting the power grid

Red Balloon provided embedded defense to protection relays, RTUs and network equipment to increase device protection, detect attacks and bring device level forensics.

PIADC FACILITY

Commercializing tech for deployment

U.S. Government funded Red Balloon research to bring advanced on-device security with real-time detection to production-network building controllers.

THRANGRYCAT

Defeating Cisco's secure boot

Red Balloon discovered a vulnerability which allows an attacker to persistently bypass Cisco’s proprietary secure boot mechanism and lock out future updates.
