There has been a bit of an influx of mobile security applications, but some people argue that the military is asking for trouble, especially considering the threat from cyber attacks.

Mobile security applications are designed to give the soldiers on the ground more situation awareness, allowing them to operate more efficiently, however cyber stacks can cost soldiers their lives, so is it really worth the risk?

Security breaches happen, but the fact is modern-day soldiers are trained to perform with and without technology, and no soldier will ever need to rely upon a mobile device. There’s no guarantee that applications can be 100% secure, but if they regularly help the military perform well, then surely there’s no reason why they can’t be used going forward in the future.
