Cyber Confidence Erodes as Readiness Paradox Grows
Most organizations claim they're confident in their ability to tackle cyberwarfare and AI-driven threats, but their actions tell a different story - with many admitting to lacking the budget and resources to back up their boasts. This alarming gap between confidence and capability is what we call the Cyber Readiness Paradox.
Cyberwar Expands to Orbit as Satellites Become New Front
The lines between space and cyber are blurring, and the threat landscape for satellites and other space systems is evolving at a breakneck pace. As space systems become increasingly intertwined with cyberspace, eroding norms are leaving them vulnerable to attacks, as seen in the Russians' 2022 cyberattack on a US commercial satellite system, Viasat, at the start of their invasion of Ukraine.
Satellites Become New Frontier in Cyberwarfare
As the space and cyber domains converge, the harsh reality is that traditional cybersecurity tools are woefully unprepared for the unique challenges of protecting satellites in orbit. Conventional defenses falter in space, where satellites operate on diverse, limited platforms, demanding reliable security solutions that can thrive in extreme conditions.
at war with Russia: Stunning, Risky Reality for Britain
