Artificial intelligence (AI) is enabling faster, more widespread cyber-attacks that can overwhelm defensive systems. Maintaining the status quo is not enough, as preexisting vulnerabilities in legacy systems and gaps in operational networks are quickly identified and attacked by adversaries who have faster and more adaptable tools at their disposal. Breaking Defense discussed how cyber defense is evolving to protect critical systems with Leidos’ Paul Welch, Senior Vice President, Business Area Lead, Defense Agencies, and Josh Salmanson, Vice President, Defensive Cyber Practice. Breaking Defense: Describe the threat scenarios necessitating the need for defensive cyber techniques, especially those that are more proactive…

BALTIMORE — As the Army modernizes its network, the availability of artificial intelligence capabilities is presenting new opportunities for the network to be compromised, a top Army IT official said today. “The threat now is a different spot. These new AI capabilities [are] lowering the barrier of entry and exposing more of our attack service,” David Markowitz, deputy chief information officer and chief data and analytics officer for the Army, said at the TechNet Cyber conference here today. “We really need to better understand our unified network, rapidly understand where those attacks may be coming in … and be able…

India’s exchange-rate debates often proceed as though the price of the rupee were merely another financial price best left to market correction and macroeconomic adjustment. In theory, a weakening currency performs a useful balancing function. Imports become costlier, domestic demand adjusts, exports become more competitive, and external imbalances gradually stabilize. It is a clean textbook mechanism, elegant in abstraction, and widely accepted within orthodox macroeconomics. But, economies, especially emerging market economies, do not experience exchange-rate depreciation in abstraction. They experience it through speculative attacks, fuel prices, transport costs, electricity bills, food inflation and falling real wages.  What often disappears in…

The Indian Air Force is examining ways to strengthen the survivability of its Dassault Rafale fleets by integrating self-contained, expendable Digital Radio Frequency Memory jammers such as Leonardo’s BriteCloud.These advanced off-board decoys are designed to be launched from conventional dispensers, drawing radar-guided threats away from the aircraft and providing an additional layer of protection during combat operations.Expendable Active Decoys, or EADs, function as miniature jammers once deployed. They are fired directly from standard onboard countermeasure dispensers, including 55 mm or 218-format units, requiring no structural modifications to the fighter aircraft.Once airborne, the decoy uses its built-in receiver, power source, and…
