About
Every hour of the day, the aerospace and defense segments face ever growing cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity protections must consistently and reliably guard hardware and software systems on the ground, at sea, in the air and in space. What's more, these protections must be proactive, searching and stopping threats as they rapidly evolve. In order to implement the proper security mechanisms, it's critical to understand what new cybersecurity challenges and trends face the industry.

Join Defense Daily for a panel discussion that will explore the latest aerospace and defense cybersecurity challenges and trends.

Experts from Curtiss-Wright, Intel, and Wind River will discuss:
• New vulnerabilities and trends facing aerospace and defense systems
• Best state of the art cybersecurity technology to meet threats
• How can A&D companies respond to future threats
