Defence

We support European defence organisations in building cyber capability they own, operate and can take into contested environments.

Context

The picture today.

European defence is rebuilding deep cyber capability at speed, against adversaries that have invested in it for two decades. The choices made now, on architecture, on suppliers, on talent, will define operational freedom for the next twenty years.

We work alongside armed forces, joint commands and defence agencies on the technical foundations of that capability: mission-system security, offensive and defensive tooling, and the assurance work that lets commanders trust both.

Challenges

What organisations in this sector face.

  • Mission systems with twenty-year lifecycles and uncertain supplier sovereignty
  • Operational dependence on non-European cloud and identity providers
  • Recruiting and retaining cleared cyber talent against private-sector salaries
  • Translating intelligence on adversary TTPs into hardened C2, C4ISR and weapon platforms
  • Integrating cyber with kinetic operations under realistic rules of engagement
How we help

Where we add weight.

01

Capability development

We co-develop offensive and defensive tooling with national capability owners, transferring ownership (code, documentation, training) at the end of every engagement.

02

Mission-system assurance

Adversary-grade assessments of C2, C4ISR and weapon platform software, with findings expressed in operational terms.

03

Architectural sovereignty

Independent review of supplier claims, dependency mapping, and migration plans to remove non-EU control points from critical systems.

04

Exercise & validation

Red-team operations against operational networks under realistic ROE, paired with purple-team uplift for the defending units.
