This technical white paper aims to move beyond the ‘black box’ abstraction to explore the Linux kernel primitives that ensure the isolation and security of containerised environments.
Organisations everywhere are continuing their digital transformation programmes. But new, hyper-connected IT and OT technologies have a much larger attack surface than their predecessors. With the objective to avoid exposure to the single point of vulnerability (weakest link of the chain), it’s crucial to locate any potential vulnerabilities in these complex systems before they’re exploited by malicious actors.
Using the same tools and techniques as your adversaries, our vulnerability assessments and pentesting services will reveal your organisation’s true cyber maturity.
Airbus Protect’s personalised approach is what sets us apart. Our penetration tests are tailored to your specific assets and industry. Plus, they don’t just outline what’s wrong, offering a clear and actionable roadmap for how to remedy any gaps and vulnerabilities.
We make sure you have the tools and methods in place to detect and manage your vulnerabilities. What sets us apart:
Airbus Protect maintains a close and enduring partnership with ANSSI (France), BSI (Germany), and the NCSC (UK). By bridging the requirements of these three national authorities, Airbus Protect provides a unique, transnational security shield that combines local regulatory expertise with a unified European vision.



This type of mock attack is designed to test employees’ information security behaviour and awareness. Typically, Airbus Protect consultants pose as fellow employees or trusted figures to conduct this test.
Social engineering pentests have numerous benefits, including:

This technical white paper aims to move beyond the ‘black box’ abstraction to explore the Linux kernel primitives that ensure the isolation and security of containerised environments.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are often touted as the solution that promises to finally shift security from a reactive to a proactive game. However, for security teams, the reality is often a story of noisy alerts and tools that lack critical context. While the potential is considerable, harnessing it requires a pragmatic [...]
This whitepaper explores how resilience has evolved from a narrow focus on disaster recovery and standard contingency planning into a strategic, enterprise-wide capability that prioritises long-term stability by anticipating and preparing for a broad spectrum of potential threats.
