As leaders in Canada's aerospace and defence (A&D) sector, it’s our responsibility to ensure a safe and secure digital ecosystem that also facilitates growth, innovation, and collaboration.    Our latest article explores how cybersecurity risks can be managed more effectively. Join me in our collective journey to ensure the prosperous future—and safety—of Canada’s A&D sector: https://deloi.tt/45uZSxC

“Many of our nation’s defense startups and small businesses already possess the tools and know-how to help the U.S. maintain its technological superiority.” The nation’s capabilities factories, its muscular innovative start ups and small businesses must lead enhancement of our defense industrial base. We cannot afford to wait for the slow turning of process in the face of a determined and focused pacing threat, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. Steps to take to assist our nation’s warfighters and the systems that support them: 1. Identify and engage outcome based Defense leadership. 2. Challenge existing thinking and process with demonstrably effective capabilities as to their desired effects coupled with material cost savings. 3. Seek out coalition partners willing to advance their capabilities at the speed of strategic and tactical relevance (consistent with Export Control regulations, where applicable). 4. Focus on actual, relevant need with solutions for today with efficient and cost effective pathways to the future (avoid “shiny object” syndrome). 5. Press on in the face of ossified environments. It is time for us, the nation’s capabilities factories, to stoke the fires of innovation to meet real and present challenges. Join us at KnectIQ and let’s move!

AXIOM 💀❌ ID: G0001 Associated Groups: Group 7 Axiom is a suspected Chinese cyber espionage group that has targeted the aerospace, defense, government, manufacturing, and media sectors since at least 2008. Some reporting suggests a degree of overlap between Axiom and Winnti Group but the two groups appear to be distinct based on differences in reporting on TTPs and targeting. This group has used 10+ techniques such as archive collected data, phishing, remote service session hijacking. You can find more information:
