In a new @KratosDefense article, @ChuckBeames, Chairman of the Board at SpiderOak, shares his perspective on why networks systems must be built with the assumption that compromise is inevitable. He discusses the importance of #zerotrust, secure-by-design architectures that can when parts of a system or network have been breached.
Charles also points to SpiderOak as one of the companies providing the tools needed to help solution providers adopt zero-trust practices and strengthen cyber resilience across increasingly connected space systems.
As space infrastructure becomes more critical to national security, communications, navigation, financial systems, and more, designing for resilience from the start is becoming increasingly essential.
