More than accurate enough to put an ASM in the right ballpark. Modern militaries face some interesting challenges. Possibly mobile apps should be designed to be somewhat secure for military use by defaul, backed by law. Alternately, phones should have a military safe OS with vetted app store. Something like F-droid, or more on toto phone ubuntu, but tailored. Obviously, you still need to be security conscious. But a system that is easy to reason about for mortals would not be a bad idea. Rules like secure by default, and no telemetry or data exfiltration, (and no popups etc), wouldn't be the worst. Add in that you then have a market for people to actually engage with to make more secure apps, and A) Military can then at least have something like a phone on them, sometimes. Which can be good for morale. B) it improves civilian infrastructure reliability and resiliance as well. | ||
