President Donald Trump signed a sweeping new executive order designed to dismantle state-level AI regulations in favor of a single, and significantly looser, federal standard.
Hello Cyber Builders 🖖I recently examined how AI is used across 12 cybersecurity platforms, focusing on real examples from vendor product releases over the past 2 years. You’ll find all the resources linked below.This series generated passionate questions and remarks. Some of you told me, “I will never delegate my security operations to an AI.” Others were excited about delegating boring research and reporting to focus on more valuable work.No matter your view, cybersecurity is a grind. Alerts pile up, tools don’t always work together, skilled people are hard to find, and threats keep changing. Many of you deal with…
As of December 23, 2025, the US Federal Communications Commission barred Chinese-based drone maker DJI from importing any new drones into the United State. That might sound like you can’t buy a DJI drone right now, but that’s not true. Head over to Amazon and just about the whole DJI drone lineup is still for sale. So what gives? Are they banned or not?The key word in the previous paragraph was any new drone. Nothing DJI has made in the past is banned. No one is taking your drone away. It’s still perfectly legal to fly a drone. And this…

(BigStock Photo) This story first appeared in the Washington State Standard. Avery Ping had a knack for noticing who in a room might be having a bad day and checking in on them. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. But the Olympia teen was addicted to his screen, his father Aaron said. He wanted to get away from his phone, and Aaron was adamant about limiting his screen time. “For a developing teenage brain, it’s going to be training that brain for impulsive behavior,” Aaron Ping said. “Dopamine reward schedules, it has a really harmful effect on the developing mind.” Aaron…
As organizations increasingly shift workloads, data, and applications to the cloud, the security landscape becomes more complicated. You’re no longer just managing a single environment, you’re managing dozens of services, containers, and APIs that are all interrelated and deployed across multiple clouds. This increased complexity has made traditional security tools less effective, which is why it’s important that you have Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) as a foundational offering in your modern cloud defense.But with so many options available out there, the issue is understanding what features actually matter. Not all CNAPP solutions are equal in terms of providing protection, visibility, or automation. Some solutions are simply posture management, while…
The New York Stock Exchange plans to launch a trading venue that will enable investors to buy and sell tokenized stocks. The NYSE’s parent company, Intercontinental Exchange Inc., announced the initiative today. A tokenized stock is a digital asset pegged to the share price of a publicly traded company. Tokenized stocks can also be tied to an investment vehicle known as an ETF, or exchange-traded fund. Such funds often own multiple assets such as a basket of stocks. The NYSE plans to support tokenized versions of both regular corporate shares and ETFs. According to the exchange operator, its upcoming trading…
As 2025 comes to a close, artificial intelligence has completed a decisive transition – from experimental technology and competitive differentiator to critical global infrastructure. This was the year AI left the laboratory and became embedded in daily life, enterprise operations, public services, and geopolitical strategy. From Generative AI to Agentic AI The most significant technical shift of 2025 was the move from passive generative systems to agentic AI. Large Language Models (LLMs) evolved from conversational assistants into autonomous systems capable of planning, executing multi-step workflows, and adapting to changing conditions with limited human oversight. This shift reframed how organizations use…

Building out an IoT environment is a little like the old Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. All the stuff on the top is only any good if all the stuff on the bottom is good, starting with power. This week, I couldn’t even get that right, but thankfully, sparky to rescue and ensuite underfloor heating disconnected, and we now have reliable power again. On top of that is the layer that has increasingly been my nemesis – the network. Two days after recording, I’ve just spent the better part of the entire day making a much more concerted effort to adjust…
