Cyber security in the defense sector is entering a new phase - one defined by AI-enabled attacks, deep supply chain exposure, and rapidly evolving regulatory demands. Programs must now defend against sophisticated intrusion techniques while preparing for new requirements under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the U.S. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), and other global standards that are reshaping the definition of system trustworthiness.

In this webinar, leading cyber security and defense experts will outline what organizations need to know to stay ahead of the threat landscape and remain compliant. Speakers will examine how adversaries are exploiting new attack surfaces, how regulatory changes will impact defense programs, and how tools like Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), continuous vulnerability monitoring, and secure-by-design engineering can strengthen mission assurance.

Attendees will gain practical guidance on:

• Balancing operational resilience with emerging compliance requirements

• Improving transparency and system integrity through SBOMs and proactive risk management

• Addressing supply chain vulnerabilities across primes, subcontractors, and critical technology providers

• Accelerating secure innovation through collaboration between government, industry, and suppliers

If you are responsible for securing defense platforms, managing compliance, or strengthening the cyber posture of complex systems, this session will help you understand what is coming next - and what actions your organization should take now to stay mission-ready.
