Hello Cyber Builders 🖖Few perspectives are as valuable as those shaped by decades of hands-on experience. In this exclusive conversation for Cyber Builders, I sat down with Adrian Ludwig, Chief Architect & CISO at Tools for Humanity (World ID).Bringing over 25 years of combined experience to the table, we have both witnessed and shaped the security paradigm through every major technological shift: from the early days of hardening desktop computers and locking down perimeter networks, to the explosion of mobile computing, where Adrian led Android security at Google. Now, we turn our attention to the latest frontier: the era of…

For years, “human-in-the-loop” has provided the default reassurance when it comes to how artificial intelligence is governed. It sounds prudent. Responsible. Familiar. It is no longer true. We’ve entered an agentic age where AI systems make millions of decisions per second across fraud detection, trading, personalization, logistics, cybersecurity and autonomous agent workflows. At that scale and speed, the idea that humans can meaningfully supervise AI one decision at a time is no longer realistic. It’s a comforting fiction. Experts warn that traditional human review models are collapsing as generative and agentic systems move from experimentation into production. Policy and academic…

How We Tested UPDATE: Apr. 24, 2025, 4:30 p.m. EDT Following President Trump’s tariffs, the Ozlo Sleepbuds increased in price from $299 to $349 on Ozlo’s website and Amazon in the United States. We’ll be evaluating whether or not this changes our rating,…

Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news — some AI tools have the potential to reduce some forms of energy consumption and enable cleaner grids.One of the most promising applications is using AI to optimize the power grid, which would improve efficiency, increase resilience to extreme weather, and enable the integration of more renewable energy. To learn more, MIT News spoke with Priya Donti, the Silverman Family Career Development Professor in the…

Multi-cloud inconsistenciesEach cloud provider exposes logs, APIs, and telemetry differently.You cannot correlate behavior across environments effectively.Shadow IT & unmanaged SaaS appsTeams adopt tools without routing them through security.Sensitive data leaves monitored environments without visibility.Ephemeral workloadsContainers, functions, and short-lived workloads appear and disappear quickly.Logs and resource states become incomplete or unavailable.Identity sprawlService accounts, tokens, and roles multiply and accumulate permissions over time.It becomes hard to track who has access to what.Siloed monitoring toolsNetworks, cloud workloads, endpoints, and SaaS platforms are monitored separately.Security teams miss lateral movement and cross-domain attacks.Configuration driftFrequent deployments cause unplanned changes in posture.You lose track of which configurations…

The B2B sales landscape has turned into a hall of mirrors. You think you’re looking at a strategy, but you’re actually looking at a reflection of your own desperation to scale. A Meta Summary for the C-Suite: B2B Sales Outsourcing is currently in a state of “frenetic failure.” By optimizing for low-cost “activity” and high-volume “noise,” organizations are destroying their brand equity and ballooning their true CAC. To win in 2025, leaders must move toward a Brand Extension model-partnerships based on deep industry empathy, outcome-based incentives, and a “human-first” approach to technology. Sales is not a math problem; it is…

Introduction In the generative‑AI boom of recent years, giant language models have dominated headlines, but they aren’t the only game in town. Small language models (SLMs) – often ranging from a few hundred million to about ten billion parameters – are rapidly emerging as a pragmatic choice for developers and enterprises who care about latency, cost and resource efficiency. Advances in distillation, quantization and inference‑time optimizations mean these nimble models can handle many real‑world tasks without the heavy GPU bills of their larger siblings. Meanwhile, providers and platforms are racing to offer low‑cost, high‑speed APIs so that teams can integrate…

Spending your marketing budget well is better than having an overly large budget, says OtterHalf’s Cassandra Ong Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, any opinions expressed below belong to the author. It is easy to assume that bigger marketing budgets automatically lead to better returns. But as many businesses tighten their belts, a different reality is emerging: effective marketing is less about how much you spend, and more about how well you understand your audience. Across industries, the strongest campaigns today are not defined by scale alone. They are defined by relevance, empathy, and strategic clarity. Brands that succeed are those that…

I thought Scott would cop it first when he posted about what his solar system really cost him last year. "You're so gonna get that stupid AI-slop response from some people", I joked. But no, he got other stupid responses instead! And I got the AI-slop responses! Draw your own conclusions on those comments, but I find it fascinating that the one thing people would take away from a thoughtful blog post I spent many hours writing to explain how much work I put into privacy is that the illustration was computer-generated. That such feedback aligns with the political leanings…

In my recent OnePlus 15R review, I claimed it had the best battery life I’d ever experienced in a smartphone. That felt, from a month of use, to be the case – now I’ve got the figures to back it up. The OnePlus 15R’s 7,400mAh battery is larger than most of the best Android phones, and day after day during testing I was constantly wowed by how much charge was left in the tank when I went to bed. I fell out of the habit of regularly charging my mobile – who knows how I’ll cope when I go back…
