No trust, no mission: why next-gen identity is the backbone of battlefield-ready cyber systems

On July 22, 2025 at 11:00 am, filancore offers a free webinar on why next-generation identity solutions are essential to securing software-defined defense systems and enabling trusted, resilient military operations.

Establishing device-level trust in software-defined defence

Modern warfare is increasingly defined by Software Defined Defence (SDD) and interconnected systems. Military platforms are evolving into highly digitized units, where software drives nearly 80% of operational capabilities. As IoT and OT devices proliferate, and traditional assets like tanks, ships, and aircraft become networked, the attack surface grows significantly. Cyber threats now pose a persistent and serious risk to military systems and critical infrastructure.

In this dynamic environment, trust in systems, data, and communication partners becomes the foundation of security, resilience, and interoperability. Without it, mission success is at risk. Establishing device-level trust is essential to ensure the authenticity and integrity of data and communications.

Securing interconnected military systems

This webinar explores why Next-Gen Identity solutions are critical to securing today’s digital battlefield. We’ll examine the challenges of connected operations and how advanced identity and trust mechanisms enable more secure, interoperable, and resilient defense systems.
