RTI joins the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Programme

RTI will continue to adopt best cyber security practices which includes a secure coding standard, static and dynamic analysis tools, and extended endurance testing to improve systems across industries such as defence, medical, and automotive.

RTI Connext, based on the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard, delivers reliability, security, and real-time performance essential for highly distributed autonomous systems. As a CNA, RTI has established a vulnerability management and notification process to monitor and notify customers of any known vulnerabilities that may affect systems using RTI software. The goal is to ensure that Connext users receive the information needed to properly assess their impact, through well-established mechanisms, and that solutions are provided in a timely manner.

“By enhancing our visibility and control over the CVE publication process, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering top-notch cyber security for our customers,” said David Barnett, VP of Products and Markets at RTI. “This initiative will streamline our disclosure process, making it easier for users to access crucial information about vulnerabilities through a trusted, recognised platform. Our priority is ensuring the security of our customers' systems, and we are committed to providing the best solutions to protect them against evolving threats.”

CVE is an international initiative that relies on the community to identify and catalogue publicly disclosed cyber security vulnerabilities. Once discovered, vulnerabilities are assigned and published in the CVE List. CNAs are organisations responsible for the regular assignment of CVE IDs to vulnerabilities, and for creating and publishing information about the risk in the associated CVE Record.

Securing autonomous and intelligent systems requires constant and careful architecting of the entire framework. RTI enables customers to design robust, reliable systems that safeguard without sacrificing real-time performance. Whether it is a large application running on powerful hardware or an embedded application running on a resource-constrained device, RTI has security solutions for intelligent distributed systems.
