And that raises a fascinating question:
What happens when the greatest constraint on artificial intelligence is no longer what we can imagine or program—but what we can physically build?
That is the subject of this episode.
Belief systems have traditionally been treated as passive—formed through experience, culture, and social context. But in a world shaped by algorithmic feeds, synthetic media, and microtargeted narratives, passivity is a liability. Disinformation is no longer incidental; it is engineered.
What if, instead, your belief system had an active counterpart—a dynamic, AI-powered digital twin that continuously mod...
For centuries, military advantage has been measured in weapons, manpower, territory, and technological superiority. But the battlefield is changing. As autonomous drones, AI, networked weapons, satellites, robotic vehicles, and increasingly realistic autonomous agents become integrated into military operations, warfare is evolving into something far more complex: a cyber-physical battle for control of information an...

I met Jon Rolf over 20 years ago when he was at NSA while jointly researching some high assurance solutions dealing with trusted computing and virtualization.

At the beginning of each year, for the past 10 or more years, I am excited to get the invite from my friend Larry Gordon to make the trek to the University of Maryland to attend the annual, day long forum on Financial Information Systems and Cybersecurity: A Public Policy Perspective. This year's agenda for the 20th Forum was loaded with interesting topics and speakers. The luncheon keynote, delivered by the former ...
I received a call a while back from my good friend, Jim Rice, who wanted to introduce me to a company with whom he had been collaborating on a solution. Jim has a knack to be on top of the next big market wave – in this case it was zero trust – and so I was eager to hear more about the solution. Jim introduced me to Chris Romeo, the CEO of OneTier who is partnered with Vantiq – Jim’s employer...

I like returning each year to the AFCEA Technet Cyber Conference as it always has a lively exhibit hall and interesting panels and discussions. It is also focused quite a bit on government issues and solutions, although not exclusively, as members of the IC, DoD, and other federal agencies provide their insights into the trending cyber issues of the day. As a member of the media, I sometimes receive requests for int...
Vulnerability management programs form the foundation of most managed security services and SOC efforts. Despite a plethora of scanning and discovery tools, I remember as a former SOC Manager how difficult it was to maintain comprehensive visibility of managed assets and to provide quick reaction to detected vulnerabilities. Remediation efforts were often laborious and it was difficult in many instances to kno...
