The attack compelled the defense sector to adapt advanced technologies, ushering in a new era of policies to prioritize the national security and safeguard sensitive information. Organizations that operate in the defense sector are now harnessing big dataspecifically for predictive analysis--to provide meaningful information around asset failures that can then be integrated into systems to help inform and improve future designs. They are also investing on IoT for a better connected, and smart soldier systems to gain improved understanding of the condition of soldiers in real-time, allowing for evaluation of health, fitness, as well as physical location. With the help of IoT, defense teams can get advanced situational awareness--allowing military commanders to make decisions based on real-time analysis generated by integrating information from unmanned sensors and reports from the field.
