With the development of technology in the defense industry, the risk of a cybersecurity assault is ever-present.

Modern defense currently depends significantly more on civilian contractors than in earlier times. Today, non-military professionals and technicians from outside organizations often provide support in crucial areas, including private security, infrastructure, communications, logistics, IT, and programming.

Cloud appears to be the most feasible option for main data security concerns. However, for an industry like defense, it is complicated to technically allow a massive structural change.

Global warfare also develops when technology in the world has fundamental advances. As a result, defense industries are dealing with lengthier research and development (R&D) lead times and longer and more complicated supply chains.

Systems security is a continuous, dynamic, iterative process that necessitates extreme care within an organization.

Digital transformation also enables advanced types of equipment. However, the cost of manufacturing is usually high for these machines.
