CLAWS Cyber Index I Volume II I Issue 03
This issue of the CLAWS Cyber Index (Vol. 2, Issue 03) examines a landscape where technological sovereignty and specialized defense systems are increasingly inseparable from global security. We cover India’s recent progress in ramjet propulsion and its expanding private defense ecosystem, alongside the U.S. Department of Defense’s new leadership structure for critical technology areas. The report also details a shift in the threat environment, specifically the emergence of orbital AI data centers, the deployment of autonomous agent swarms, and sophisticated edge-device exploitation by state-linked actors. By analyzing these developments, this issue identifies the growing necessity for Zero Trust architectures and quantum-resistant infrastructure to maintain national and corporate resilience.
