The Pentagon has paused CMMC’s second-stage third-party certification requirements temporarily. Existing safeguarding, self-assessment, reporting, and controlled-information duties remain firmly in force.

Lockheed Martin UK has secured Britain’s highest defence cyber certification. The milestone places factory systems, engineering data, governance, and supplier assurance under closer scrutiny.

Allied agencies warn Russian operators are targeting defence network edges. The campaign places asset visibility, router configuration, supplier access, unsupported hardware, and production continuity inside the same industrial-security problem.

Pentagon post-quantum deadlines now reach deep into defence manufacturing systems. Long-life platforms, embedded hardware, factories, and supplier networks must migrate years before final deadlines.

Europe’s proposed Space Act moves cybersecurity into satellite production cycles. Manufacturers and operators would face pre-launch testing, faster reporting, and stricter lifecycle assurance.

NATO’s protected cloud programme moves cyber into defence production infrastructure. Accenture and Leonardo will support classified services for Alliance users.

Cyber Shield places agentic AI inside Britain’s national cyber-defence machinery. Suppliers now face a harder problem: trusted autonomy at scale.

New Zealand has joined a shared allied AI command programme. Project Arcadia links C2 software, secure data exchange, and interoperability.

Havelsan has introduced BlueVision for AI maritime surveillance and perception. The system brings object detection, sensor fusion, USV support, and dark-vessel awareness into a software-defined layer for naval and security platforms.
