“…MFA is a robust authentication mechanism that enhances the security of access to drone systems by requiring users to provide multiple authentication factors. When integrated into ZTA for drones, MFA ensures that only authenticated and authorized individuals can interact with the drone systems, adding an extra layer of protection to sensitive operations [4]. MFA combines two or more authentication factors to verify the identity of a user.…”

“…Implementing zero trust can help to mitigate this risk by providing a comprehensive security framework that covers every aspect of the UAV's operation [4]. By identifying sensitive or valuable data, and defining access controls, zero trust can minimize the attack surface and reduce the risk of data breaches.…”

“…For example, if an ML algorithm detects unusual network traffic or unauthorized access attempts, it can trigger an alert and isolate the compromised device or application [6]. The use of ML in zero trust can significantly enhance the security of military UAVs, providing operators with real-time threat detection and response capabilities [4]. Unauthorized access, data breaches, and the possibility of drone hijacking are all important issues that must be addressed to ensure the integrity and security of these systems.…”

Over the years, the need for autonomous systems such as drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has significantly increased in popularity across several industries, including the military. The Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT) represents a modern technological advancement that significantly enhances the operational efficacy of defense systems. It establishes an integrated military force by connecting individuals to intelligent technology in drones, radios, equipment, antennas and ground stations. This is achieved through the utilization of cloud and edge computing, sensors, mobile devices, embedded systems, and IoT-based systems. However, IoBT security is significantly compromised by enemies that exploit the vulnerabilities and malicious intrusions that specifically target the external environment or to obtain sensitive data. In addition, a comprehensive understanding of cyberattacks and countermeasures is essential for assuring the security of IoBT. On the other hand, as cyber threats get more complicated, trust becomes increasingly important for the security of digital systems. Within this context, the zero trust architecture contends that the security of a complex network is inherently vulnerable to internal and external threats. In defense, UAV security system applications, for example, the primary purpose of the zero trust architecture is to limit the vulnerability of military UAV systems to cyberattacks, hence reducing the possibility of data breaches and illegal entry. This study conducts a systematic review aimed at identifying different aspects of cybersecurity strategies for protecting UAV systems within the IoBT domain. Furthermore, zero trust architecture is presented in the study as an effective prospective solution to the security issues that develop in defense UAV systems.
