Risk Studies & Simulation

Understanding risks, simulating scenarios and securing operations

As industries evolve, so do the risks they face—ranging from complex environmental threats to highly technical hazards linked to advanced technologies, materials and processes. Business continuity now depends on the ability to anticipate and mitigate these risks through robust studies, modelling, and simulation.

Whether it’s lightning, fire, nuclear processes, or hazardous substances, addressing these risks with precision and foresight is critical—not only for safety, but for compliance, reputation, and resilience.

Why Airbus Protect?

At Airbus Protect, we provide comprehensive risk analysis and simulation services to ensure operations are safe, compliant, and future-ready. Our teams blend engineering expertise with cross-sector experience to support clients in identifying vulnerabilities, modelling hazardous events, establishing mitigation strategies and ensuring regulatory compliance.

With tailored studies and advanced simulation tools, we help our clients move from risk awareness to risk mastery—ensuring that complex systems remain reliable, safe, and high-performing under all conditions.

Security of sensor fusion systems: Mission statement

Systems have been using sensors for a long time, to gain an understanding of their environment. More recently, the advent of autonomous systems, and the increasing demands of reliability, have led to the multiplication of sensor inputs. So we now commonly have systems that estimate their location using a mix of GPS, odometry, LIDAR, cameras, […]

Incident Response: Analysis of recent version of BRC4

Introduction During our latest incident response case we have discovered a recent sample of Brute Ratel C4 packed with Themida. BRC4 is a powerful Command and Control (C2) tool which allows to control targeted workstations through an executable agent. The objective of Themida is to protect code against reverse engineering. Currently, C2 tools are used [...]
