Would you keep a blacklist of bad drones and track anomalous behavior “like Fireeye’ and
then block ‘like a firewall’ – some form of antenna-based deep packet inspection and
prevent a hijacked or malicious drone from entering your ‘cyber dome’? The answer is
yes, and this new arena is also getting incubated by NightDragon Security. Cyberdomes
will prevent all kinds of threats in the dome.

Dr. DeWalt predicts that there will ultimately be cyber Domes over every physical space,
protecting against multiple threat vectors – such as satellites taking pictures on or to
listening to people talking to drones also eavesdropping. The future of cyber domes will
be to detect and prevent – monitor, good vs bad, ultimately to protect the area above
your physical fence – air spaces above will need the same form of cyber protection that
physical spaces have, below. He shared ideas about not only high tech commercial usage
and military usage but even those involved in the movement of trucks, packages, crop
growth – anything that can be spied upon by a drone will need some form of a dome.

INDUSTRIAL & IoT
These are two other very interesting areas that are extremely vulnerable…

In the Industrial arena we have ICS and SCADA equipment helping manage everything
from railroad tracks to water, power – from coal to natural gas to nuclear power to
manufacturing with so many proprietary and insecure protocols – it’s a wonder this
industry is not experiencing more Stuxnet-like attacks. Dr. David G. DeWalt asked me to
‘name one security solution designed to monitor Rockwell or Honeywell PLC’s’ and for
