Are the ‘Letters of Last Resort’ and the Trident Program secure?
In a world increasingly dependent on digital communication, the reality of compromised systems is a grave threat, not a Hollywood plot.
Recent cyber incidents involving the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD), the F-35B program, U.S. airspace, Nuclear Power, and literally thousands more incidents highlight the vulnerabilities within our critical infrastructure.
External actors have demonstrated an alarming ability and ease, to infiltrate systems that were presumed secure, leading to catastrophic consequences such as ejected pilots, nationwide airspace shutdowns, and maritime disasters.
These breaches underscore a critical failing: the disparity between the perceived and actual security of critical systems.
Despite assurances of robust defenses, the fact remains that our digital fortresses are alarmingly porous. The question is not just how these breaches occur, but why our current security strategy repeatedly falls short in preventing them.
