DOD adopt an initial zero-trust architecture, Trust must be continually assessed and granted in a granular fashion.
The Defense Department has been pushing hard for digital modernization, but the massive hacking campaign that breached multiple federal government agencies via Solarwinds software has put some of its more nascent efforts at risk — namely software factories. “Yes, this creates a new kind of target for our adversaries. These digital …

The era of hypersonic flight had arrived. Hypersonic refers to aircraft, missiles, rockets, and spacecraft that can reach speeds through the atmosphere faster than Mach 5, which is near 4,000 miles per hour. The hypersonic wind tunnel is used to test flight characteristics in a hypersonic region of Mach number 5 …
