Security for Trusted Systems

PikeOS, with its separation kernel approach, is the top choice for systems requiring protection against Cybersecurity attacks and is widely used in IoT, edge systems, and critical communication infrastructures.

Security Overview

Virtualization & Real-Time

PikeOS uniquely combines virtualization and real-time technologies, enabling the consolidation of complex embedded circuit boards onto a single hardware platform, including support for new concepts like Big SoCs (Systems-on-a-Chip) with multiple processor cores. 

RTOS Virtualization

Several Hardware Architectures

PikeOS supports processors that come with a Memory Management Unit (MMU) as well as less complex SoCs (Systems-on-a-Chip) that contain a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) only.

Interference-free Multi-Core Utilization (SMP & AMP) 

PikeOS is a pioneer in Safety-critical multi-core support, being the first RTOS to achieve SIL 4 certification on multi-core platforms. It offers flexible execution models ranging from Symmetric (SMP) to Asymmetric (AMP) multiprocessing. By utilizing advanced interference mitigation techniques—such as fine-grained kernel locking, cache coloring, and memory bandwidth monitoring—PikeOS ensures that applications on different cores do not starve each other of resources, guaranteeing deterministic timing even on the most complex "Big SoCs."

Drastic Reduction in SWaP-C (Space, Weight, Power, and Cost) 

By consolidating multiple hardware functions—ranging from Safety-critical control to Linux-based HMIs—onto a single high-performance SoC, you significantly reduce the physical footprint of your system. This reduces the physical footprint, lowers power consumption, and decreases overall system weight. It is the ideal solution for modern Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) or mobile Robotics applications.

Accelerated Time-to-Market with pre-certified Artifacts 

PikeOS provides a head start on certification with comprehensive Certification Kits for SIL 4, DAL A, and ASIL D. By using our pre-qualified software evidence and documentation, your team can bypass months of low-level testing and documentation. This allows you to focus 100% of your engineering effort on your unique application logic rather than the underlying platform infrastructure.

Vendor Independence & Hardware Flexibility 

PikeOS abstracts your software from the underlying silicon, supporting a wide array of architectures including ARM, x86, RISC-V, and PowerPC. This hardware-agnostic approach protects your investment against component obsolescence and supply chain disruptions. You gain the freedom to migrate or scale your system to the latest processors with minimal code changes.

European Sovereignty & ITAR-free global Deployment 

As a purely European solution, PikeOS is entirely free from U.S. ITAR restrictions, ensuring a smooth and predictable global export process. In an era of increasing geopolitical complexity, SYSGO provides a "sovereign" foundation that simplifies international project collaboration. This makes it the preferred choice for Defense, Aerospace, and critical infrastructure projects worldwide.

Cyber-Resilience by Design (CC EAL 5+ & MILS) 

Protect your systems against the sophisticated cyber threats with a powerful kernel certified to Common Criteria EAL 5+. The MILS (Multiple Independent Levels of Security) architecture ensures that even if one partition is compromised, the breach cannot spread to other critical functions. This high-level assurance is essential for meeting the strict requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Safe Coexistence of Mixed-Criticality Workloads 

PikeOS allows you to run "untrusted" or non-critical software (like Android or standard Linux) alongside High-Safety control loops without any risk of interference. Our robust temporal and spatial partitioning guarantees that a crash in a non-critical HMI will never affect a Safety-critical braking or flight control system. This enables the integration of modern, feature-rich software into certified environments.

Future-Proofing with Rust & Memory Safety 

PikeOS offers first-class support for the Rust programming language, enabling your team to eliminate entire classes of memory-related vulnerabilities at compile-time. By adopting Rust on PikeOS, you reduce the cost of Security audits and align your development with the latest industry trends for safe, high-performance coding. This ensures your software remains maintainable and secure for the next decade.

Cloud-Native Edge Orchestration (Kubernetes) 

Bridge the gap between modern DevOps and embedded Safety with perfect Kubernetes support. This allows you to manage, update, and scale Edge applications remotely while PikeOS maintains the underlying real-time determinism. It enables "software-defined" agility, allowing for Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and self-healing systems that evolve throughout their lifecycle.

Long-Term Maintenance & Life Cycle Support 

Critical systems often have lifespans of 15 to 30 years, far outlasting standard consumer technology. SYSGO provides long-term support and maintenance services that guarantee the availability of Security patches and technical expertise for the entire duration of your project. We act as a long-term partner, ensuring your system remains safe and secure from deployment to decommissioning.
