The defense sector is facing a paradigm shift in cyber security. Organizations face increasingly complex challenges - from AI-driven attacks and zero-day exploits to deep supply chain infiltration. At the same time, new regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the U.S. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) are raising the bar for compliance and system integrity.

This webinar brings together industry leaders and partners to explore how evolving cyber threats, regulatory mandates, and supply chain risks intersect in the defense ecosystem. We’ll discuss how to balance operational resilience with compliance, how Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and continuous vulnerability management can enhance transparency, and how collaborative innovation between governments, primes, and suppliers can create a trusted foundation for secure defense capabilities.
