Missiles destroying targets with advanced precision-guidance systems, tanks adjusting navigation in response to uneven terrain or enemy obstacles and real-time drone video arriving in vehicles and command centers … are all operations now heavily reliant upon effective and secure computing. 

Cybersecurity, therefore, is no longer limited to the realm of IT persay but expanded to encompass operations such as networked weapons systems, platform sensor information processing and even precision-weapons delivery.

Naturally, this dynamic further underscores the importance of “securing,” “hardening” and “protecting” a network from unwanted intrusions, hacking, jamming or other kinds of enemy intrusions.
