Today, the concept finds its clearest institutional expression in corporate "attack-defence labs" run by firms such as 𝗤𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼 𝟯𝟲𝟬, 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁, and 𝗤𝗶 𝗔𝗻 𝗫𝗶𝗻, and reinforced by state policy that treats private companies as part of China's #cyber #attack-and-defence apparatus. 🕵️Several attack-defence labs have been directly linked to offensive tool development, exploit research, and support for state cyber operations." 👉 Read the article by Benincasa on our journal at buff.ly/kjNUDXu #TDHJ

The codes are cumulatively summed and visualised using an iterative model. 🔍Technologies are treated in two tracks: as inhibitors of MC principles and as facilitators of MC principles. Tactical-level technologies are mostly supportive of such principles, whereas network-level implementations show degraded trust between command levels.

#Europe has the #defence capabilities. The question is whether we have the will to harness them. A packed day at Future Forces Forum 2026, with 500+ exhibitors showcasing everything from #tanks and #IFVs to autonomous systems, #drone swarms and containerised 3D-printing factories. The sheer breadth of European industrial capability was striking. Strategic autonomy is not a technological impossibility. Dependency is a choice—and need not be permanent. But amid the excitement around drones and unmanned systems, one reality stood out: The human being remains central to the battlefield. Technology is transforming warfare. It has not eliminated the soldier. #FFF2026 #Defence #EuropeanSecurity @Pastey_n

🛡️October is the 𝑬𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒚𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉 and The Defence Horizon Journal intends to celebrate it also by sharing research from other journals and fostering global debate on strategic and international topics. 👾Today, we focus on the article '𝐷𝑢𝑎𝑙-𝐸𝑑𝑔𝑒 𝐸𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: 𝐴 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑒ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐴𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐴𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒'𝑠 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑛 𝐶𝑦𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐷𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑠' by 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐤, a student attending a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering at #Kalinga University, India. His study explores the transformative role of #ArtificialIntelligence (AI) in modern #cybersecurity, examining both its #defensive capabilities and potential vulnerabilities. The investigation demonstrates that machine learning algorithms, when properly trained on extensive datasets, can identify and respond to cyber threats in real-time, significantly reducing the detection and response timeframe from days to seconds. Furthermore, the study examines the integration of Natural Language Processing (#NLP) in cybersecurity applications, especially its role in detecting phishing attempts and analyzing #threat intelligence. The findings indicate that while #AI substantially enhances cybersecurity capabilities through automated #security protocols and adaptive algorithms, it also introduces new challenges that require careful consideration. A notable contribution is the comparative analysis of pre- and post-AI/ML integration metrics in cybersecurity operations, which demonstrates significant improvements in threat detection accuracy, incident response time, and resource allocation efficiency. 📃Read Pathak's article at buff.ly/pHfy4Kz #TDHJ #TDHJconnects #EuropeanCybersecurityMonth

At #TDHJ, we publish #defence and security-related articles from knowledgeable researchers, practitioners, and military officers, but we also share research from experts from all around the world in order to foster global debate on strategic and international topics. 🪖 In '𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔', Vernon Noel Bennett, retired military officer and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Centre for Strategic Studies, #Victoria University of #Wellington, explores how the concept of military #interoperability has become a common term pertaining to multinational #military operations, #defence relationships, and force development. 🔍 Much of the research on military interoperability has been conducted from the perspective of large partners, with less attention paid to how small #states participate in these relationships.
