Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing warfare and international conflict. Autonomous weapon systems are no longer theoretical and represent a real threat to civilians. The war in Ukraine has become a proving ground for weapons that can navigate

“I don’t think that word means what you think it means.” For the umpteenth time, testing of frontier AI models showed how they were able to escape their “secured” sandbox. Does anyone get the sinking feeling that these AI companies, although technica

AI is making cyberattacks faster, more scalable, and more convincing, so the only way to stay ahead is to strengthen the basics, adapt processes, and treat cybersecurity as a business-critical partnership.

AI has dramatically turned up the heat in cyb

I always get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I see rival cybercriminal organizations undermining each other!  The infamous ShinyHunters criminal group hacked the Russian CLOP group’s darkweb site, claims to have stolen data and is demanding a ma

I am far less concerned about sentient AI deciding to destroy humankind and more worried that fellow humans will deliberately direct smart AI systems to target, control, or obliterate specific cultures, countries, societies, freedoms, or political ad

I am so very honored to make The Defender 2026 globally represented list of CISOs. Thanks to the Top Cyber News MAGAZINE and Ludmila Morozova-Buss, Ph.D.

Congrats to all the recognized cybersecurity leaders Kerissa Varma, Gary Hayslip, Dr. Kunal Sehga

Another great Human Risk Management conference in Austin, Texas, that brought together thought leaders and practitioners to understand the evolving cybersecurity risks of both human and AI behaviors.

Security has become a topic for everyone, not just large companies. The reality is that small businesses are a prime target for cybercriminals due to their lack of budget, IT staff and security resources. These disruptions are caused by phishing atta

Just because you have hacking skills and believe yourself to be a cybersecurity professional, you should not think you are entitled to use them at your discretion to cause harm or inconvenience to others. 

Real cybersecurity PROFESSIONALS respect boun

First OpenAI’s model went rogue and broke out of testing containment to hack real systems, then Anthropic, and now Meta AI. Do you see a trend? Here is what it means:

Although these frontier AI companies employ some of the world’s brightest engineers,

Should the US ban American companies from using Chinese open-weight AI models?

That is the ugly question.

US officials have openly expressed concerns and a desire to implement regulations. The technology community has aggressively responded, with over

Beyond being a superstar at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in digital systems, Anthropic’s Mythos frontier model is now being directed at encryption algorithms that are designed to resist quantum computing attacks.

The early results, as pu

A deep and fun discussion with Brook Scharli on the Securanoia podcast discussing the impacts, challenges, and best practices for cyber risks that Artificial Intelligence brings.
