Cybersecurity threats are inevitable in the 4th Industrial era and thus, protection against these threats is essential. Cybersecurity involves protecting computer systems, communication networks, and digital applications, along with the data they hold, from unauthorized access and attacks. These attacks, also known as cyberattacks, are aimed at fraudulently accessing concealed information for malicious damage such as changing, stealing or destroying information. Cyberthreats are an inherent risk to any system, whether it’s internet or intranet based. The growing complexity and volatility of the global security environment have led to military organizations developing decision support systems to support and aid operational effectiveness. The capability management decision support system is a military system developed to assist planners and decision makers in assessing their capability status and for deployment planning. The system is mission critical and may be exposed to cyberthreats such as spywares, malwares, ransomware and Distributed Denial of Service. Military systems are susceptible to cyber security threats and effective cyber protection must be put in place when using these systems. The system is in its final stages of development and is ready for deployment. In planning for deployment of the system, an analysis of vulnerabilities and threats that the system might encounter is essential. This paper gives a theoretical analysis of cyber threats the system might be vulnerable to and recommends actions to protect the system.FulltextenCybersecurityCyberwarfareCapability Management Decision Support SystemConference Presentationn/a
