El enemigo que no duerme: cuando la inteligencia artificial puede convertir el hacking en una guerra híbrida permanente

Durante años, la ciberseguridad se apoyó en una ficción cómoda: atacar sistemas complejos exigía talento, tiempo, paciencia y conocimiento profundo.

The cybersecurity industry built a $200B business selling you problems. Nobody got paid to fix them.

Cybersecurity has never been better at finding risk. Organizations can identify vulnerable servers, dormant user accounts, excessive privileges, exposed cloud assets, and software flaws in near real time. The market has rewarded that capability handsomely, with global cybersecurity spending projected to exceed the half-trillion-dollar range as enterprises continue investing in tools that promise greater visibility [] This story continues at The Next Web

Commercialization Doesn’t Begin at Launch, It Begins with the Research Culture

Many breakthrough technologies never fail in the laboratory. They fail much earlier, before a startup is formed, before investors get involved, and before customers ever see a product. As governments continue investing heavily in research and innovation, a more difficult question is emerging. Are research systems preparing scientists to create commercial impact, or simply rewarding [] The post Commercialization Doesn’t Begin at Launch, It Begins with the Research Culture first appeared on KoreaTechDesk | Korean Startup and Technology News.

Gathering Clouds: Building Digital Strategic Depth in the Compute Age

The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have exposed a strategic reality that military planners are only beginning to confront: In a data-centric age, digital infrastructure has become part of the battlespace. Data centers and cloud regions are now the digital backbone of military power and economic prosperity. As such, they present attractive targets for rapidly proliferating long-range strike systems, drones, and cyber capabilities. As the protective value of physical distance erodes, strategic depth — once conceived in geographical terms — must now be measured in the resilience of data and compute.Alex Rough detailed the physical vulnerability of data The post Gathering Clouds: Building Digital Strategic Depth in the Compute Age appeared first on War on the Rocks.
