Since the end of 2023, the U.S. Navy has been battling missiles and drones fired from Yemen in the Red Sea. With the importance of autonomous ammunition increasing in naval conflicts, the military sees this as an excellent opportunity to refine its training and strategies to counter future threats.
While none of us have to deal with smart (and not-so-smart) missiles endangering military and commercial vessels, every organization and its IT department are facing a type of asymmetrical warfare that bears some similarities. Rapid advances in AI and the ever-increasing volume and sophistication of cyberattacks present an ongoing, almost incessant threat. Ignoring this threat means your organization might take a direct hit with devastating economic, albeit not lethal, consequences. And just like the Navy, we can use feedback loops, post-mortem analysis, and adaptive training as significant opportunities to grow our cyber resilience.
