Cyber Trojan Horses: When Simple Tech Disables Advanced Military Hardware

Quick Summary

French military demonstrates critical cyber vulnerabilities during tactical exercise, revealing how simple electronic devices can disable sophisticated military hardware.

Key Points

  • Modified rangefinder immobilised 24.5-tonne armoured vehicle in seconds
  • DEFNET exercise involved 15,000 military personnel
  • Cyber threats can neutralise advanced technological systems

Why It Matters

Electronic warfare represents an emerging asymmetric threat where low-cost technological interventions can compromise multi-million pound military assets. The demonstration underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity protocols, adaptive defence strategies, and continuous technological resilience testing across complex technological ecosystems.

Cybersecurity Insurance

Have you considered your exposure to cyber risks?

“Cybersecurity insurance is designed to mitigate losses from a variety of cyber incidents, including data breaches, business interruption, and network damage.

Many companies forego available policies, however, citing as rationales the perceived high cost of those policies, confusion about what they cover, and uncertainty that their organizations will suffer a cyber attack. In recent years, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has engaged key stakeholders to address this emerging cyber risk area.”
