Emerging Technology in the Energy Sector:Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Recommendations for Industry
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
RAW MATERIALS RISING
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.
Risk of State-Sponsored Intellectual Property Theft and Protection
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.
The Revenge of Raw Materials
AI’s future is built on rare earth minerals—without them, even the most advanced AI models are just lines of code.
The standoff between raw materials required for advanced technologies and the finished technologies themselves could become an aspect of the upcoming sanctions and tariffs that are likely to be continued features of 2025. History gives us some interesting insights.
Structurally Sound Podcast: Staying Ahead of Emerging Technology in Critical Infrastructure
Artificial intelligence, blockchains, quantum computing - complex emerging technologies promise to reshape critical infrastructure in the coming years. We’re joined by Nick Reese, an emerging technology entrepreneur, and Robert Crane, a project manager at IHS, for strategies on embracing new tech while staying one step ahead.
CONVERGENCE OF MISSION AND MOMENT: IMAGINING THE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY ANALYST
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was born in a different time. One year, two months, and twenty-four days after the attack on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and United Flight 93, DHS was born. The Homeland Security Act was signed on November 25, 2002, and carried with it fresh and open wounds from the horrifying attack just over a year past.
