- The line between cyber and physical threats is blurring, making trusted computing essential for military and aerospace systems.
- The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has adopted a Zero Trust Architecture, requiring implementation by 2027.
- Zero Trust involves continuous verification, data segmentation, encrypted communications, and ongoing monitoring of system integrity.
- Defense contractors must rethink trust in hardware and software, incorporating secure boot processes and hardware root of trust.
- Cyber threats are evolving, with nation-state actors targeting vulnerabilities in legacy and next-generation platforms.
- AI and machine learning are transforming cyber defense, enabling proactive threat detection and real-time response.
- Adversaries are also leveraging AI to accelerate vulnerability discovery and craft targeted attacks.
- Hardware-based security is critical, with features like zeroization buttons and anti-tamper switches.
- Cross-domain solutions (CDS) and NSA Type 1 encryption are emerging priorities for defense integrators.
- AI presents challenges, including adversarial AI, data poisoning, and over-reliance on opaque models.
