What the Golden Dome Can’t Protect: Securing Critical Software

Golden Dome depends on software.

Its radars, satellites, command-and-control systems, aircraft, communications networks, and supporting infrastructure all rely on code that attackers can target. Much of that software may remain deployed for decades and cannot be quickly patched or rewritten when a vulnerability is discovered.

In this webinar, former Gartner analysts Brad LaPorte and Rob Smith of Lionfish Tech Advisors join Joseph M. Saunders, Founder and CEO of RunSafe Security, to examine that gap.

Brad and Rob explain the thinking behind the Digital Golden Dome, why they believe Operational Software Assurance represents a missing layer of cyber defense, and how AI has changed the economics of finding and exploiting vulnerabilities.

The discussion also examines what organizations can do when finding a vulnerability is much faster than safely eliminating it.
