As geopolitical tensions rise, cyber security has become a key element of defence strategies. Approach is helping to strengthen cyber defences in both national and European contexts, responding to the urgent need for advanced measures in a time of global instability.
Emphasis on interoperability in cyber defence
The critical need for interoperable cyber defence technologies has become evident, particularly in Europe, where collaborative defence efforts are paramount. Effective cyber collaboration within European militaries depends on technologies that allow seamless interoperability, a priority that officials such as Belgian Defence Minister Ludivine Dedonder have strongly advocated. Interoperability in cyberspace has thus emerged as a central focus, promoting a unified European defence strategy in which each nation’s cyber infrastructure aligns to create a cohesive front.
Strategic developments: Cyber Command and the STAR Plan
Significant developments, including the establishment of Cyber Command in Belgium and the European Commission’s Cyber Defence Strategy, mark progress in strengthening defence capabilities. The STAR Plan, which sets out a strategic vision up to 2030, emphasises the integration of industry expertise to create a cyber resilience force, highlighting collaboration between the defence sector and industry.
Approach’s contribution to cyber defences
Approach is taking part by supporting these strategic initiatives, fostering partnerships with industry leaders to enhance defence capabilities. Through its involvement in projects and forums, Approach is dedicated to advancing cyber security solutions tailored to the defence and military aerospace sectors.
