The cybersecurity implications of this report are profound. As the U.S. relies more on digital systems for nuclear command and control, the risk of cyber attacks increases. These systems must be fortified against both physical and cyber threats to ensure their reliability and security. The integration of robust cybersecurity measures is vital to protect against potential intrusions and disruptions. Accelerating the deployment of hardened satellites and developing advanced countermeasures are essential steps to mitigate these risks and maintain the integrity of national security infrastructure in the face of evolving threats.
