Certus Core’s Post

Those of us in the #defense industry live with the constant tension of what it means for our businesses to "benefit" from conflict. As the daughter, granddaughter, and niece of #veterans, I've done this work because I love the customer. And as a #faith-driven person who believes every living thing is connected, the realities of the battlefield are crushing. My peace comes from knowing our product (and our team) seeks to 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 conflict, 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 service members and civilians, and 𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 our military to make better decisions that keep destruction to a minimum. Any investment in our business is an investment in 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩. Our #brand, by design, will never be based in fear or try to leverage it. You will never see a Certus Core ad with a swarm of killer drones or a silent torpedo "coming for you" in the dark of night, with the implication that only our software can save you from it (IYKYK). We're about #empowerment, not anxiety. #Intelligence, not intimidation. #Truth as a competitive advantage. And #accountability as a non-negotiable. 💙

https://lnkd.in/dwujXZs4 When the war reaches for the cloud, AI becomes a target Miah Hammond-Errey 18 Mar 2026 Iran’s drone strikes on Gulf data centres reveal a new vulnerability governments are only beginning to reckon with. As a military target, there is also a practical logic. Data centres are sprawling complexes, dependent on exposed infrastructure, such as cooling units, generators and turbines that can be identified using satellite imagery and disabled. Further, data centres must be built near high-quality energy and water supplies, making their locations easily discoverable, even when “undisclosed”. It also means they are usually near urban centres, placing populations at risk. The biggest “hyperscalers” do have one structural advantage: a global presence provides redundancy to shift across regions relatively quickly. But that advantage evaporates precisely where it matters most – when governments have integrated classified military and intelligence systems so deeply into commercial infrastructure that shifting becomes impossible under fire. The problem extends beyond the data centre. A total of 17 submarine cables pass through the Red Sea, carrying most of the data traffic between Europe, Asia, and Africa, one of which was cut last year. With Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and renewed Houthi threats in the Red Sea, both critical data chokepoints are simultaneously in active conflict zones. The Indo-Pacific is not insulated. Subsea cables connecting Australia to its partners traverse some of the world's most contested waters. The commercial and strategic risk is the same risk. The Gulf strikes demonstrate where AI-era conflict is heading. The organisations and governments that retain advantage will be those that understood infrastructure not as a commercial convenience but as a sovereign asset requiring active defence. 

Stop pitching "Defense Tech." Start pitching "Dual-Use." The fastest way into a 2026 contract isn't building a tank. It’s providing a commercial solution that solves a military bottleneck. The Pentagon is currently prioritizing: 🔹Integrated software enablers. 🔹Physics-based quantum security. 🔹Logistics automation. If your commercial product secures data or automates a physical process, you are already a defense contractor. You just haven't filed the paperwork yet.

It’s been a massive month across the Australian technology and defence sectors. Staying on top of these updates is critical as the intersection of sovereign capability and emerging tech continues to redefine our industry landscape. Here are the key stories you need to know: 1. AI Governance & The Crackdown Australia is taking a leading global stance on AI safety. The internet regulator has signaled a potential crackdown on app stores and search engines to enforce age verification for AI services. With reports of children as young as 10 engaging with AI tools for hours on end, the government is moving toward aggressive age restrictions to safeguard youth mental health. (Source: iTnews) 2. Strengthening Global Alliances In a major geopolitical move, the UAE’s EDGE Group has signed a massive $35B industrial partnership with South Korea’s DAPA. This deal covers integrated air defence, advanced aircraft, and maritime capabilities, signaling a shift toward deep, long-term technical collaboration rather than traditional procurement. Closer to home, SYOS Aerospace has secured a deal with the NZDF to advance autonomous uncrewed systems across land, sea, and air. (Source: Defence Connect / APDR) 3. Innovation in Sovereign Manufacturing Australian sovereign capability hit a new milestone with the welcoming of the first Australian-made AS9 Huntsman self-propelled howitzers in Victoria. Additionally, we’re seeing "Advanced Manufacturing" in action, with reports of critical defence assets now being restored in under 24 hours using 3D printing—a game-changer for military sustainment and resilience. (Source: Defence Connect / APDR) 4. The Evolving Threat Landscape Cybersecurity remains front and center. Researchers have identified a novel threat where phishers are abusing the .arpa reverse DNS domain—a core piece of internet infrastructure—to bypass traditional security layers. Meanwhile, the Australian government’s new air-gapped "Defence Secret Environment," delivered in partnership with Google Cloud, has hit a major operational milestone to secure our most sensitive data. (Source: iTnews / Defence Connect) The key takeaway: Whether it’s the rapid adoption of AI or the hardening of our sovereign supply chains, the pace of change isn’t slowing down. For businesses in this space, the message is clear: Agility and strategic partnerships are the new currency. Which of these updates do you think will have the biggest impact on the Australian ecosystem this year?

Iran has warned that infrastructure belonging to major US technology companies could become “legitimate targets” as the regional conflict expands into what it called an “infrastructure war”. IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency published a list of facilities linked to firms including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, IBM, Oracle and Palantir. According to the report, the sites — located in Israel and parts of the Gulf — were identified because their cloud computing, AI and data infrastructure are allegedly supporting military operations. Iranian officials also warned that economic centres and banks connected to US and Israeli interests across the region could be targeted, advising civilians to stay at least one kilometre away from such locations. The statement reflects a widening view of what constitutes critical infrastructure in modern conflict. Hyperscale cloud platforms, AI compute clusters and data centres now underpin logistics, intelligence processing, and battlefield analytics. As these capabilities become embedded in defence systems, the boundary between commercial technology infrastructure and military assets is increasingly blurred. This shift reinforces a broader trend: digital infrastructure is no longer just economic infrastructure — it is strategic infrastructure. As conflicts become more data-driven, the platforms that store, process and move information are becoming part of the battlespace. #cybersecurity #cloud #defence #datacentres #geopolitics
