eClypse

​Funded by the Canadian Department of National Defense through the IDEaS program, eClypse was developed to address satellite security gaps on the ground and in orbit.

Rapidly evolving supply chains, software-defined satellites, in-orbit reconfigurations, on-board intelligence, and quantum technologies demand a new approach to protecting your satellite.

​

For governments and industries prioritizing satellite data security, we invite you to join our testing group to deploy the next generation of eClypse.

One Platform to Monitor & Protect Your Satellite Data

Separate Ground Station Monitoring

Be alerted in real-time if there’s a cyber security breach before it compromises your operations and data with our ground station monitoring and forensics platform.

​

eClypse sends key information to the ground station needed for cyber defence and security monitoring that could be used to identify:

  • Alteration of onboard software

  • Hijacking of processors

  • Installation of covert software or command & controls

  • Changes to critical firmware or onboard software

  • Adversary tactics & techniques (SPARTA framework)

On-premise Hardware

eClypse provides the essential on-board security needed to protect your data in space against cyber security threats on the ground or in orbit. Its flexible hardware integration process removes barriers allowing all satellites to get the security they need, agnostic of their platform. Built on a proprietary real-time operating system and tested on a major Canadian satellite manufacturer. 

​

Once integrated with the satellite, eClypse:

  • Monitors specific resources & behaviour

  • Remains invisible to a cyber attacker

  • Prevents tampering (tamper-proof)

  • Transmits actionable information with 0% additional bandwidth

  • Maintains physical control of key devices for inspection or re-imaging

  • Enables out-of-band monitoring through a secure connection that adversaries cannot monitor

Flexible Integration Options

Our flexible software API and lightweight hardware components are ideal for satellites with unique specifications.

Nicholas Scheurkogel, CEO of Dominant Information Solutions Canada (DISC) Inc. 

“Satellite operators should be able to answer the question of ‘Is my satellite compromised’, although most cannot. This gap in onboard cyber security monitoring and detection was DISC's rationale for developing eClypse, to follow security by design principles enabling satellites to reach a Zero Trust security standard. When a satellite's existing security is defeated, eClypse is the missing onboard satellite intrusion detection tool to alert ground station operators of a hack that could easily go unnoticed. This knowledge then informs what actions are needed to quickly remove the threat and restore the operation of the satellite, minimizing the impact (cost) on the operator."
