Tech & InnovationLessons from Ukraine on keeping up morale
Sustaining morale under prolonged stress is an operational capability, not a soft skill. Early signal for founders and execs: treat psychological resilience like you treat runway and infra capacity — something you design for, measure, and reinforce, especially as AI cycles compress expectations and volatility.
Tech & InnovationThe UK's on-device scanning plan is a threat to enterprise environments
Government-mandated on-device scanning collapses the boundary between personal and corporate devices — and with it, clean threat models. CISOs with UK exposure need to scenario-plan now for regulated client software with privileged access on endpoints and what that means for data residency, key management, and zero-trust assumptions.
