"The Cyber360: Defending the Digital Battlespace report found that 84% of government IT security leaders agree that sharing sensitive data across networks heightens their cyber risk. More than half - 53% - still rely on manual processes to move that data between systems. This is a significant concern as AI accelerates operations on both sides."
"Cyber360 recorded an average of 137 attempted or successful cyberattacks per week against national security organizations in 2025, up from 127 the previous year. U.S. agencies saw the weekly rate surge 25%, indicating a troubling trend in cyber threats."
"The moment data crosses a boundary, whether between an OT network and the enterprise SOC or between classified and unclassified environments, it stops being a routing problem and becomes a trust problem. It must be validated, filtered, and policy-controlled."
Security programs often mistakenly believe that connecting systems resolves security issues. Research indicates that 84% of government IT leaders recognize that sharing sensitive data increases cyber risk. Many still depend on manual processes for data transfer, which is problematic in an era of rising cyber threats. The Cyber360 report highlights that the average number of cyberattacks against national security organizations is increasing. Secure data movement requires validation and policy control, especially when data crosses boundaries between different environments.
