Many commercial and recreational UAS systems use MAVLink to communicate instructions and data between the Ground Control Station and the drone. We explore the security aspects of this protocol and what it means for assessing threats, risks and mitigations for drone operators.

RSA® Conference, the world’s leading information security conferences and expositions, concluded its 30th annual event, which took place as a fully virtual experience this week. This year’s theme was Resilience, and in honor of all that the cybersecurity industry has accomplished over the past three decades, offered a must-attend celebration of thought leadership and education.


More than 20,000 people registered to view 449 sessions including, keynotes, track sessions, interactive programs, tutorials, seminars, and many special digital-first programs that focused on best practices and innovation.
