We're at an inflection point where our national security depends on transforming how we develop and deploy technology. At Red Cell, we are building companies with the exact capabilities this piece highlights: enterprise data repositories, AI enablers, and software solutions that can be rapidly integrated into defense systems. Co-Chairs of the Atlantic Council Commission on Software-Defined Warfare, Mark T. Esper, Ph.D., Christine Fox, and Mung Chiang wrote in Defense News that, "today, the stakes are critical. The global security environment is undergoing seismic shifts, with threats evolving at a speed and scale unseen since the Cold War." We couldn’t agree more.

The Atlantic Council Commission on Software-Defined Warfare’s new report was released today, offering a compelling roadmap for transforming defense capabilities through software modernization – an essential component to maintaining America's technological advantage against sophisticated adversaries. While the report notes that "addressing these systemic challenges demands a sustained, long-term effort," the private sector is ready to deliver these capabilities in the near term. At Red Cell, we are committed to helping solve these problems by partnering with entrepreneurs to build the mission-critical software of tomorrow. Read the full report to learn more about the importance of implementing modern software in today's defense systems, and what must be done to ensure it reaches those who need it most: https://lnkd.in/ezZ2AqRt #DefenseTech #NationalSecurity #TechnologyInnovation

At Red Cell, we believe that an important path to enhance and strengthen our nation's defense is through software, from AI for contested logistics to supply chain risk platforms. That is why we are eagerly awaiting the Atlantic Council’s highly anticipated report from their Commission on Software-Defined Warfare, set to release tomorrow. Join us by registering and watching the event covering the report at 2pm ET here: https://lnkd.in/eZkqjaTE #defensetech #software #atlanticcouncil #webinar

We are proud to sponsor Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan School of Management’s 4th annual Technology and National Security Conference, where students, DOD officials, industry leaders, and venture capitalists will come together to think critically on how we can address today’s complex security challenges. As part of this year’s agenda, our National Security President, Veronica Daigle, will speak on a panel about the future of investing in defense tech. Also in attendance will be our CHRO, Michael Sheets, and National Security Practice Director, John Hrivnak.

Building with open source software (OSS) has become a common practice across nearly every organization, with developers leveraging previously built IP to fast-track their products’ time to market. Yet, OSS open doors for vulnerabilities to be unknowingly injected within companies’ software supply chains, demonstrated in recent years by a series of high-profile attacks to critical infrastructure used by millions of people. Recognizing the urgent need for robust defense against these cunning threat actors, Hunted Labs – our latest cyber incubation – was born in 2024 to provide organizations with unparalleled visibility into their software supply chains, using AI/ML-based technology to proactively hunt and eliminate threats.
