Development of defensive systems can help protect against attacks.
Defender Context
Defenders need to stay abreast of emerging technologies in both offensive and defensive capabilities. The use of autonomous systems in air defense creates new attack surfaces and potential vulnerabilities, requiring increased monitoring and robust security measures to prevent compromise or misuse. Understanding these emerging defense technologies is crucial for proactively mitigating future threats.
