Aquarius Goes First: AI & Leadership with Nick Reese
Podcast
In this episode of Your Resident Intuitive, I’m joined by Nick Reese of Triantha for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, quantum, and leadership.
Reliable space rescue is a prerequisite for continued economic opportunity in space and we have a long way to go
Space rescue is a prerequisite for the continued growth of the space economy, particularly with a growing number of non-government missions and ambitions to fly crews outside of low Earth orbit (LEO). Future missions and habitations on the moon or Mars will inevitably encounter medical emergencies, equipment failures, resupply failures and a host of issues for which pre-planning is difficult. And the ability to reliably launch an on-demand space rescue effort is years, possibly decades away. The complexities of international, civil, military and commercial space flight create a web of stakeholders, decision makers, economic interests and international legal questions that make space rescue much more than an exercise in engineering.
How phone apps become tools of war
Quoted in the article
Infiltrating phone apps has become an increasingly common practice, both for propaganda and surveillance. The IDF has previously accused Hamas of trying to get troops to download malware-infested dating apps, and the U.S. military has contracted with data brokers who purchase location data from other Muslim prayer apps.

CISA to prioritize new hires in 2026: report
Quoted in the Article
Following news in June of around 1,000 employee departures and layoffs, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has reportedly reversed course and prioritized new hiring to address cyberattacks facing the nation, including threats from China.
The EU thinks Big Tech is the weak link in Europe’s fight against fraud
Quoted in the article
Financial scams cost Europeans billions each year. Now Brussels wants tech giants to take greater responsibility for the digital ecosystems that enable those crimes.
Ransomware Hits Europe’s Airports: Ex-DHS Official Warns of Risks
When a ransomware attack paralyzed Collins Aerospace’s MUSE software on September 19, 2025, flights across Europe were thrown into chaos. Brussels Airport was hit hardest, but cancellations and delays rippled through Berlin, Dublin, and Heathrow as staff reverted to manual systems.
Techlandia Talks: Future of AI with Nick Reese
Podcast
In this episode of Techlandia, Skip Newberry interviews Nick Reese, founder of Triantha, a company focused on emerging technology education and consulting. Nick shares his journey from policymaker at the Department of Homeland Security to starting his own firm.
Trump’s Big, Beautiful L.L.M.
Quoted in the article.
The president’s grandly displayed A.I. Action Plan is long on frameworks but notably short on policy—a Rorschach test for fans and critics alike, revealing what researchers, scientists, and Big Tech companies want this young trillion-dollar industry to become (or avoid) as it matures at warp speed.
Unpacking Trump's Cybersecurity Executive Order
Podcast
In this Infosecurity podcast episode, the team dive into the details of Donald Trump's June 2025 Cybersecurity Executive Order (EO).
This EO revises previous orders from both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, while also removing a host of requirements from Biden's January 2025 EO.

AI, Privacy & Strategic Tech Risks
All Things Internal Audit Tech: Quantum Is Coming for Your Encryption. Now What?
Podcast
Quantum computing might sound futuristic, but internal auditors need to prepare now. Bill Truett catches up with Nick Reese to talk about what’s changed in the quantum space — including new cryptography standards — real-world risks, and what internal auditors can do today to get ready.
Survey: 83% of users prefer AI search over ‘traditional’ Googling
Quoted in the article
More than a trend – new data suggests AI search is a more efficient way to answer questions. The days of ‘Googling’ may be numbered. We asked Innovating with AI readers about their experience with AI search solutions, and more than 83% said they found AI-powered tools more efficient than traditional search.
What is TLS 1.3 (and why one security pro says it’s not quantum-safe)
Quoted in the article.
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 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
Space assets could be held ransom. Will we have any choice but to pay?
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.
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.
NIST loses key cyber experts in standards and research
Quoted in the article
The head of the agency’s Computer Security Division and roughly a dozen of his subordinates took the Trump administration’s retirement offers, placing key programs at risk. The departures are raising concerns over NIST’s work on emerging technology issues in quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
