Deep & Emerging TechAI and Cybersecurity: Why Cyberattacks Are Getting Harder to Stop
When a leading lab says mass cyber disruptions will get worse before they get better, treat it as a forecast of systemic stress, not a soundbite. Boards should be asking for explicit AI-augmented threat scenarios and recovery playbooks, not just higher security budgets.
Deep & Emerging TechHow surging demand from AI hyperscalers has quintupled flash memory prices and shifted market and negotiating power from Apple to suppliers like Kioxia
Flash prices quintupling and leverage shifting away from Apple tells you AI hyperscalers now set memory economics. Any hardware or infra roadmap that assumes flat NAND pricing is stale—update your unit economics and contract strategy accordingly.
Deep & Emerging TechGMO Bond Spread Jumps as Cyberattack Hits Credit Market
A single cyberattack widening a company’s bond spread is the market pricing security posture as credit risk. Treasurers and CISOs need a shared view of how a breach would flow through to financing costs, not just operations.
Deep & Emerging TechStarlink users heavily surveilled by alleged Israeli spy firm — company served ads to geolocate users and spy on browsers and apps
Ad infrastructure is now a viable targeting surface for high-end surveillance, even on satellite networks. If you operate in sensitive regions or roles, you need a threat model that treats ad tech and browser telemetry as potential SIGINT, not just marketing plumbing.
