WIRED’s reporting underscores a critical reality: the most consequential drone threats live below the app layer—inside protocols and firmware. [Red Balloon Security](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/) helps organizations [harden UAS](https://xckd6kzuxte054o.onstatic.studio/uas/) at these layers to reduce the risk of unauthorized control and limit the impact of malicious add-ons. The result is safer operations and stronger protection for people, facilities, and critical infrastructure.
