Defence, Security & Resilience Sector
From forces to resilience. Defence, security, and resilience institutions are being rebuilt around technology, integration, and civil preparedness — under pressure to deter, protect, and recover in a more dangerous world.
Geopolitical conflict, emerging technology, cyber and hybrid threats, civil resilience, industrial capacity, and workforce are reshaping how nations defend, secure, and recover.
