According to its website, the portfolio includes a tactical SOC platform, Ectocryp for encryption and key management, a Secure Gateway between security levels, the CyberRange simulation and training platform, Orion Malware for file analysis, CymID for identity management and the Cyber Maestro supervision tool. Airbus also describes a Security Operations Centre service covering IT, OT and mobile platforms. Solutions are integrated and deployed for each client, complemented by managed SOC services.

Airbus presents itself as a trusted European cybersecurity provider and a European end-to-end integrator. Managed security services from Airbus Protect are delivered from secure premises in the UK, France, Germany and Spain. The products are proprietary. The sources do not state where customer data is stored or processed, so European organisations for which data location matters should settle it contractually.
