Acquisition Reform Is Materializing, but the Harder Test Still Lies Ahead
Acquisition reform returns as a familiar Washington ritual, yet change is often only seen at the margins. The task at hand has simply been too monumental to effectively revamp the entire system: Reforming how the Pentagon buys alone isn’t enough, any meaningful transformation depends on revitalizing the industrial base, strengthening supply chain security, giving industry the capital and demand certainty to invest, requirements-setting, and sustained workforce development and

War has always targeted infrastructure. Data centers are no exception
War has always targeted infrastructure. In conflict, the systems that sustain an adversary's ability to operate are identified and acted upon. In a digitally dependent society, data centers sit at the center of those systems. As the cybersecurity community gathers this week for the RSA Conference, the systems that support our digital world warrant closer attention.

The Deferral Trap: Compounding Risk and AI Adoption Governance
The Mythos moment is significant for reasons that extend beyond its immediate cybersecurity implications. It establishes, with unusual clarity, that AI capability has crossed a threshold in the offensive domain — and that the defensive and governance infrastructure available to most institutions has not kept pace. That gap is not a projected risk. It is a present condition.

Operating at the Speed of the Adversary
This is the second in a series of articles examining the security implications of AI-driven vulnerability discovery. The first addressed the engineering foundation. This one addresses the operational reality.
This one addresses how organizations must operate from where they actually are, which for most is not a clean, well-architected starting point but rather decades of accumulated technical decisions that were never evaluated through a security engineering lens.

AI Vulnerability Discovery and the Case for Systems Security Engineering
For decades, the approach to building technology has operated on an implicit assumption that security could be addressed after the fact...This created an environment in which building technology that simply worked was sufficient, and the cost of building technology that was engineered to be secure was treated as an unnecessary burden on development timelines and budgets... The capabilities demonstrated by recent advances in artificial intelligence have fundamentally altered t
