Raytheon logo_EbizRaytheon has used a 1:16th scale radio-controlled truck to demonstrate an anti-hacking technology during the 2015 Association of the U.S. Army meeting and exhibition.

Engineers from Raytheon’s Cyber Operations and Development Evaluation hub wanted to show how hackers could tamper Internet-connected systems through the demonstration, the company said Oct. 7.

“In today’s Internet of Things, anything with an IP address or wireless connectivity – including smart TVs, new cars, thermostats, door locks and now even watches – can be hacked if it isn’t secure,” said Steve Rosenblum, senior director of Raytheon’s CODE center.

The company designed its Electronic Armor platform to prevent cyber criminals from engineering, modifying and stealing data stored in firmware and software.

“For example, if someone were to insert a thumb drive into a computer to steal data, Electronic Armor could respond by uploading decoy data, setting off alarms, encrypting or erasing the data, or ‘bricking’ the computer,” said Damon Hardy, a mission manager at Raytheon’s Centers of Innovation.
