CyberSmart for defence contractors
Meet Defence Cyber Certification CSMv4 requirements, protect critical supply chains, and secure your business from threats with CyberSmart’s cyber risk management platform for defence contractors.
Defence is under attack
The aerospace and defence sector has seen a 300% increase in cyberattacks since 2018. As a result, cybersecurity is a key requirement for any business hoping to work with the MoD or defence enterprises.
The challenge
Defence supply chain organisations must demonstrate Defence Cyber Certification CSMv4 compliance to win and retain MoD contracts.
Yet, the framework's complex controls need sophisticated security management that’s beyond the resources of most SME contractors.
This is where CyberSmart can help
