Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to be invisible on a battlefield? Stealth has always been about one fundamental question:  How do you accomplish a mission without giving the adversary enough information to stop you? For most of the modern military era, that question has been answered primarily in physical terms. Make an aircraft difficult for radar to detect. Make a tank blend into the terrain....

Send us Fan Mail Behind every AI model is an enormous physical infrastructure of computers, chips, data centers, electricity, cooling systems, water, land, fiber networks, skilled workers, and capital. And that raises a fascinating question: What happens when the greatest constraint on artificial intelligence is no longer what we can imagine or program—but what we can physically build? That is the...

Send us Fan Mail Belief systems have traditionally been treated as passive—formed through experience, culture, and social context. But in a world shaped by algorithmic feeds, synthetic media, and microtargeted narratives, passivity is a liability. Disinformation is no longer incidental; it is engineered. What if, instead, your belief system had an active counterpart—a dynamic, AI-powered digital t...

Send us Fan Mail For centuries, military advantage has been measured in weapons, manpower, territory, and technological superiority. But the battlefield is changing. As autonomous drones, AI, networked weapons, satellites, robotic vehicles, and increasingly realistic autonomous agents become integrated into military operations, warfare is evolving into something far more complex: a cyber-physical...

Send us Fan Mail I met Jon Rolf over 20 years ago when he was at NSA while jointly researching some high assurance solutions dealing with trusted computing and virtualization. Jon served in several prominent roles at NSA before finishing his service as Director at NIAP - the National Information Assurance Partnership - which is the organization that oversees a national program to evaluate Commerci...

Send us Fan Mail Jerry Ryan, former principal consultant with Dell, takes us on a 30 minute journey as he offers tips, information, and back stories he has learned over his 40+ years in the IT industry around endpoint management and security. 

Send us Fan Mail At the beginning of each year, for the past 10 or more years, I am excited to get the invite from my friend Larry Gordon to make the trek to the University of Maryland to attend the annual, day long forum on Financial Information Systems and Cybersecurity: A Public Policy Perspective . This year's agenda for the 20th Forum was loaded with interesting topics and speakers. The...

Send us Fan Mail I received a call a while back from my good friend, Jim Rice, who wanted to introduce me to a company with whom he had been collaborating on a solution. Jim has a knack to be on top of the next big market wave – in this case it was zero trust – and so I was eager to hear more about the solution. Jim introduced me to Chris Romeo, the CEO of OneTier who is partnered with Vantiq – Ji...

Send us Fan Mail The  Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a DoD initiative to help secure the supply chain of controlled unclassified information (CUI). Run out of the DoD CIO office, and required through DoD acquisition provisions, it requires contractors and integrators to meet stringent security measures to protect CUI. Learn about the CMMC process, how it evolved, its status t...

Send us Fan Mail I like returning each year to the AFCEA Technet Cyber Conference as it always has a lively exhibit hall and interesting panels and discussions. It is also focused quite a bit on government issues and solutions, although not exclusively, as members of the IC, DoD, and other federal agencies provide their insights into the trending cyber issues of the day. As a member of the media,...
