Cyber security in the defense industry
Many companies are tapping into new markets in the defense sector due to the geopolitical situation. This increases the requirements for security and resilience, as the industry is an attractive target for state threat actors. It is also subject to strict regulatory requirements and demands a security-oriented corporate culture.
Three central problems in the industry are
New business areas and increased security requirements
Although the move into the defense industry opens up new market opportunities, it also entails far-reaching obligations in the area of information security. Even small gaps in security processes can have serious consequences, as companies in the defense supply chain are particularly in the spotlight.
Target of state threat actors and industrial espionage
Military technologies and highly sensitive data arouse the interest of foreign intelligence services and politically motivated groups. Attackers use sophisticated techniques such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) to gain access to critical information or sabotage processes.
Strict compliance and regulatory requirements
The defense industry is also subject to strict regulations. In addition to industry-specific requirements, companies often have to comply with international and national security guidelines such as NIST, NIS2 or KRITIS. This requires a seamlessly integrated security strategy.
