“Defence has, naturally, traditionally been a platform-centric sector. However, it’s now more important than ever for digital connections to be enabled.” Enabling digital threads across the #defence sector in order to establish decision advantage was a key theme for us at this year’s DSEI show. Read our latest blog for a recap of the four lenses that shaped our DSEI discussions ➡️http://baes.co/jEM650PQFQ6 #DigitalThread #DSEI2023

Controlling the Digital Battlefield: At the heart of any meaningful industrial strategy are projects like the Dstl DASA (Defence and Security Accelerator) to use “Generation after Next” communications and networks to control the digital battlefield. I was immensely privileged to be invited to help introduce (on behalf of London’s 100 Livery Company – read the slide behind me) a presentation of some of the technologies involved, on the drill deck of HMS President, where I first paraded (on the ship not the pontoon) barely a month after the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia . It was interesting to learn just how many of the companies working on key components of the battlefield of the future are based in constituencies which changed hands at the last election and depend on giving the skills of the future to local residents capable of passing UK vetting checks, as opposed to those whose loyalties lie somewhere else. I therefore took the opportunity to tell the audience to get involved with programmes like Cyber and STEM Governors for Schools and to button hole their constituency MPs (alongside their Trades Union Learning Reps) to ensure that affordable local access to world class skills is not lost among the many other priorities of Local and Regional Government … co-ordinating their messaging via their trade association AFCEA and others. Some of the discussions afterwards were great fun as I learned how technologies which I have watch evolve over decades are maturing and coming together - or not! There are some very real obstacles (physical and human, not just digital) to overcome. Some of the ways of overcoming them were counter-intuitive and illustrate the value of diversity in the teams addressing them.     I hope I did not blot my copybook too badly and look forward to be invited to help judge an add-on to the Cyber Security Challenge with squadrons of drones battling it out, perhaps in the basement winds tunnels of City University, using open source swarming software to try to overwhelm their opponents defences as they simultaneously seek to infiltrate their control systems to promote internal conflict.  #WCIT #AFCEA #DSTL #TECHUK #DPA #LabourDigital

I have just earned the 'Metasploitable' achievement on Try Hack Me, mastering the art of ethical hacking with the Metasploit framework. I am excited to leverage these skills to enhance cybersecurity and save valuable time in vulnerability assessments. Ready to bring my expertise to the next challenge!
