More than half of national security organizations still rely on manual processes to transfer sensitive data, creating systemic vulnerabilities and operational risks. Manual handling introduces delays, errors, and security gaps that adversaries can exploit, compromising mission readiness and decision-making. Automation is critical to addressing these risks, but legacy systems, procurement cycles, and cultural factors hinder its adoption.
