In order to survive attacks while not in body armor without appearing to be in thick cyberarmor like shown for a Cyber Knight, subdermal armor have been designed. They are far mor costly and involve extensive surgery to be implanted (In Phase World they use micro-robots to implant the armor and have far less trauma)
