New Approach Focuses On Preventing Network Failures From The Start

The US Air Force is redefining its approach to resilience in networks and IT systems, focusing on preventing failures rather than just recovering from them. According to the Air Force’s chief information security officer, Aaron Bishop, true resilience involves protecting networks at the component level and building in Zero Trust concepts. This approach requires a fundamental shift in how the Air Force operates, including the use of continuous monitoring through automation and a more agile, risk-informed approach to cybersecurity. The Air Force is working to reorganize and regroup its enterprise information technology to enable more effective execution of operations, as reported by Breaking Defense.
