Developing DEFCHAIN: A Dynamic Framework for Cybersecurity Risk Assessment in Military Supply Chains

In this article, we employed a systematic approach to risk assessment and the adaptation of security measures to explore possibilities for more effective cybersecurity in the supply chains of the armed forces. Our focus was on developing a model with quantified indicators that, on one hand, enable dynamic monitoring of the security status and timely threat detection, while, on the other hand, enhance the resilience of supply chains against cyber threats. Our findings indicate that applying this model enables a comprehensive security risk assessment, the adaptation of protective measures to operational requirements, and the optimization of resources to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the armed forces. Future research will focus on validating the model in real-world scenarios and adapting it to the specific needs of different organizations.
