Mission-ready defence systems require threat-ready development
CYMETRIS delivers threat-driven cybersecurity risk assessments tailored for defence—supporting secure, compliant systems from design to deployment.
Cybersecurity resilience is critical to modern military superiority
Modern defence platforms—from armored vehicles and drones to command systems—are becoming increasingly autonomous, interconnected, and software-reliant. While this brings strategic and tactical advantages, it also introduces new attack surfaces and threats: from electronic warfare and spoofing to cyber-espionage and supply chain sabotage.
Compounding the challenge, these systems are designed to operate for decades—often in contested, adversarial environments with minimal update cycles.
Cybersecurity risk management is no longer just an IT concern—it’s a mission-critical pillar of defence engineering. To ensure operational integrity, interoperability, and long-term resilience, security must be built into military systems from day one.
Risk-based engineering is the foundation of defence-grade resilience
Military systems face evolving, sophisticated threats—often state-sponsored or battlefield-driven. Compliance with frameworks such as NIST SP 800-171, STANAG 4774/4778, or national defence cybersecurity directives is essential, but not sufficient. True resilience requires a dynamic, risk-based approach throughout the entire development lifecycle: from embedded systems and firmware to communications modules, satellite links, and autonomous AI-driven units.
Threat models must be integrated into initial design phases, simulating attack vectors across systems—from secure boot to combat network protocols.
Defence systems must withstand not only digital intrusions but also physical compromise, tampering, and electronic warfare. Risk assessments must span all layers.
With system lifespans exceeding 30 years, long-term security updates and threat model re-evaluation must be built into engineering roadmaps.
