Advanced technologies in defense

The previous sections highlighted the necessity for an adaptive DiD approach driven by threat intelligence and responsiveness to dynamic risks. However, to move from theory to practice, we must embrace the cutting-edge technology shaping the tools at our disposal. This section unveils advanced technologies that aren’t mere replacements for existing layers but fundamentally transform how a defense strategy functions.

We’ll begin with homomorphic encryption. For decades, a trade-off existed – you had to decrypt data to use it but doing so created unavoidable risks. With homomorphic encryption, analysis directly on encrypted data is possible. Imagine systems that process data without ever exposing that data! We’ll explore the impact of such a change on data exfiltration protection, cloud environment defense, and the interplay between security and privacy.

We will also explore traditional encryption technologies with forward...
