As they move ever faster toward a digital future, aerospace and defense companies are embracing a wide range of new technologies—from the IoT to AI and Cloud, to Smart products—to drive top-and bottom-line growth. Connected 24/7 to a wide range of ecosystem partners, companies are collaborating and sharing more data than ever before. But as they transform into fully digital enterprises, they are also creating new and growing vulnerabilities and risks from cyber threats.
Every aerospace and defense company must address the growing gap between the risks that digital creates and their current cybersecurity posture. That means they need to embed security into everything they do. How? By developing a coherent, end-to-end cybersecurity strategy and investment plan, along with action and education to infuse security across the workforce, customer, strategic partners, third parties and industry alliances.
