The following trends highlight the evolving landscape as we approach 2026.   Hardware and Error Correction   Scalable architectures: Companies like Fujitsu and RIKEN are advancing toward large-scale quantum processors, with milestones such as a

How secure is your password?

How quickly could a quantum computer crack your password?   A sufficiently powerful, fault-tolerant quantum computer could significantly accelerate password cracking, reducing the time from potentially millions of years for a classical computer to mere minutes, hours, or days, depending on the password’s complexity and the quantum computer’s power. However, practical quantum computers capable of

The Biggest Cyber Threat to Your Business Is Sitting in the Boardroom

I am excited about the innovative ways AI is going to be used to benefit our society; perhaps this is the 4th Industrial Revolution

Cybersecurity is failing not because CISOs are weak, but because the org chart is.

Everyone talks about cyber risks. It is a “hot topic” now.   Few talk about how we structurally disarm the very people meant to manage them.   Most CISOs don’t sit at the top table.   They report to CIOs, buried in IT hierarchies, forced to “align” with operational priorities that only support the status

How Leadership Neglect Destroys Cybersecurity

Leadership without ownership turns risk into disaster.   In boardrooms across industries, the same phrase echoes:   “Cybersecurity is important to us.” But when we follow the money, the decisions, and the accountability – the truth emerges: many leaders, from C-suite to CIO to CISO, are not truly supporting cybersecurity.   And this negligence is

The Hidden Risk Behind Hiring a “Technical” CISO

Why So Many Companies Misunderstand the Role of a CISO   A few months ago, I was contacted by a recruiter who said I was a great fit for a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) position.   It was one of those opportunities that instantly make you feel excited. The company had a great mission,

Why Companies Can’t Find Information Security Talents?

The Truth Behind the InfoSec & GRC Talent Gap   Almost every week, I hear companies say the same thing:   “We just can’t find qualified information security, governance, risk and compliance professionals.”   But very often, the problem doesn’t start with the talent market. It starts with something much simpler: the job ad itself.
