Robert Slaughter is CEO of Defense Unicorns, a defense tech startup specializing in Airgap software delivery in highly secure and sensitive environments in the military and federal government. Previously, he was director of the U.S. Department of Defense's Platform One DevSecOps project and co-founder at Space CAMP, a predecessor of Platform One for the US Space Force. Prior to starting Defense Unicorns, he served 12 years in the US Air Force.
If companies think threats to the security of critical national infrastructure don't involve them, Slaughter says, they should think again. And he suggests they might adopt some of the techniques familiar to military and government cyberdefense pros, from proactive threat hunting to air gaps.
