SAN JOSE—March 10, 2014—LynuxWorks™, Inc, a world leader in the embedded software market, announced the LynxOS-178 real-time operating system (RTOS) will be used in the Rockwell Collins Flight2 avionics management system. The deployment of the Rockwell Collins Flight2 avionics system will be for the Royal Air Force of Oman's C-130 upgrade program. The Rockwell Collins Flight2 avionics system will provide the Royal Air Force of Oman C-130 aircraft with unrestricted access to global airspace by meeting Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) airspace requirements that are currently identified. Included in the avionics upgrade are new primary flight displays, state-of-the-art flight management system, autopilot, communication radios, navigation sensors and surveillance systems including MultiScan Hazard Detection Weather Radar, Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System, Terrain Awareness and Warning System and digital map. The upgrade of the three planes will provide the Oman Air Force with state-of-the-art capabilities consistent with the world's leading C-130 operators. "The use of LynxOS-178 in the Rockwell Collins Flight2 system is the latest example of its pedigree in critical avionics flight deck programs," stated Robert Day, VP of LynuxWorks, Inc. "This [...]

LONDON, UK—September 18, 2013—LynuxWorks™, Inc, a technology leader in the cyber threat defense market, today announced at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit in London, the RDS5201, a new and unique product to help detect the stealthiest of advanced persistent threats (APT), the rootkit. Built on the LynxSecure 5.2 separation kernel and hypervisor (announced at the RSA 2013 Conference in February), this small-form-factor appliance has been designed to offer a unique detection capability that complements traditional security mechanisms as they try to protect against the growing number and complexity of cyber threats. The RDS5201 Rootkit Detection System is a custom-built hardened appliance, which detects low-level, zero-day rootkits—the lethal payload of most APTs. The detection is direct (i.e., not done by statistical analysis or other indirect techniques) and is coupled with immediate, automated, live visual forensic data. The RDS5201 serves as a smart proactive sensor against APT attacks in IT networks and reduces the agonizing detection of APTs from weeks/months to seconds, and is the first and only technology capable of detecting and alerting against such threats in real-time. "Rootkits are becoming [...]
