Military cyber security: threats and solutions

The entire world, especially the military, is firmly entrenched in cyberspace. Everything from personal messages among friends and family to top secret military and diplomatic dispatches are created, transmitted, received, and read in the “0s” and “1s” of computer code.

Power grids, water treatment and distribution facilities, hospitals, traffic control, aviation, railroads, sea transport, space-based communications, position, time and navigation - all are part of the cyber domain.

That domain also encompasses home appliances, office equipment, children’s toys, medical devices, TV sets, unmanned vehicles, baby monitors, and espionage.

Military cyber security experts are making sure that avionics systems like those aboard the B-52 bomber are not tempting targets of cyber attackers.
