The Hidden Dangers of Legacy Code in Defence
In 2020, DARPA highlighted a problem that has since become impossible to ignore. Modern defence systems are built on vast layers of legacy code, much of it poorly understood, sparsely documented, and difficult to secure.
At the time, the concern was largely structural. Today, it is accelerating.
