With a June 6 executive order, President Trump took a Sharpie to parts of President Biden’s final cybersecurity directive, including guidance related to post-quantum cryptography (PQC)—a defense against the super-fast machines that could someday break many of today’s message scramblers.

Emerging technologies are reshaping the energy sector, presenting both opportunities and significant security challenges. This paper investigates the transformative potential of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) in areas such as grid management, operational efficiency, and predictive maintenance while highlighting the vulnerabilities they introduce

Ransomware exploits value. Attackers put victims against a decision to pay for the hope of the return of their system or lose it. For victims, it is hard to justify not paying even though it sets a harmful precedent. At heart, this is an economics question that cyber professionals find it difficult to answer on Earth. In space, the steep initial investments, slow times to market and operational costs of satellites and in-orbit infrastructure make the payment of a future ransomware attack against a satellite nearly assured.

When you work in emerging tech, you get asked for lists. 

People want to know what the top 5 or 10 or 50 emerging technologies will be this year and beyond.

The pace of emerging technology development inherently means that any list must be updated or revised before it can be useful to industry executives or government policy makers.

Lawmakers and legal experts claim the Yemen Signal group chat ‘blatantly violated security regulations designed to prevent exactly this kind of leak’

Global #communication #infrastructure is at the center of a geopolitical battle as nations and corporations strategize for security and control over #underseacables, #satellite networks, and #internet access. With privately owned systems like #Starlink and OneWeb revolutionizing connectivity, security risks, ownership disputes, and the potential for strategic manipulation are key issues in a hyperconnected world.

Intellectual property (IP) is a cornerstone of innovation and economic strength, yet it faces growing threats from state-sponsored theft. This paper explores the significance of IP theft for U.S. national security and economic stability, focusing on the legal frameworks, case studies, and methods used by state actors. It provides actionable recommendations for critical infrastructure owners and advisors to mitigate risks and enhance protections.
