A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines

By / Blog / , ,

Recent research, including papers from Google and Oratomic, significantly lowers the estimated resources needed for quantum computers to break widely used 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography, suggesting such attacks could be feasible within just a few years. Given this accelerated timeline and expert warnings, Filippo Valsorda urges immediate deployment of post-quantum cryptography schemes, particularly lattice-based key exchanges and signatures, to mitigate an urgent and credible threat to current cryptographic security by as early as 2029.

Shooting Down Ideas Is Not a Skill

By / Blog / ,

The article discusses how easily proposed ideas in meetings are often dismissed due to immediate criticism, which requires little effort compared to the imagination and courage needed to create them. It highlights that while identifying flaws is important for preservation, it does not create value, and encourages adopting a mindset that first explores an idea's potential before critiquing it, promoting constructive contributions that build up ideas rather than quickly tearing them down.

Microsoft Says Copilot Is for Entertainment Purposes Only, Not Serious Use — Firm Pushing AI Hard to Consumers Tells Users Not to Rely on It for Important Advice

By / Blog / ,

Microsoft’s Copilot Terms of Use state that the AI is for entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for important advice. This disclaimer, while common for AI LLMs, highlights the irony of Microsoft’s push for Copilot’s business use. Despite its usefulness, AI should be used cautiously due to its potential for mistakes and the risk of automation bias.

Block the Prompt, Not the Work: The End of “Doctor No”

By / Blog / , ,

The article discusses how traditional enterprise security approaches, often characterized by rigid blocking of tools and websites (“Doctor No”), are now a liability because they push users to find invisible workarounds that bypass controls, creating blind spots and risks. It advocates for a shift toward session-level governance that secures data at the browser session and prompt level with agentless, real-time controls, enabling secure productivity rather than impeding it.

Thinking of Vibe Coding Your CRM? Here’s The True Cost

By / Blog / , , ,

Vibe coding your CRM by using AI-generated prompts for quick customization may initially speed up development but often results in messy, unscalable systems with technical debt, fragile data structures, security risks, and integration difficulties. Instead, small businesses are advised to invest in professional CRM platforms like Salesforce Starter Suite, which provide organized data management, enterprise-grade security, seamless AI integration, and long-term support to support sustainable growth and avoid costly system overhauls.

AI Integration Security: Why the Biggest Risk Is Not the Model

By / Blog / ,

The article emphasizes that the greatest security risk in AI integration is not the AI model itself but the systems and workflows it connects to, which can lead to amplified privileges and wider attack surfaces if compromised. It highlights the importance of governance, continuous monitoring, and visibility into AI tool integrations to mitigate risks such as unauthorized actions, data exfiltration, and workflow manipulation, with solutions like Bitsight’s Cyber Risk Intelligence Platform aiding organizations in managing these integration-layer risks effectively.

When Agents Hit the Walls

By / Blog / , , ,

The article explains that agentic AI systems often fail when enterprise systems are disconnected because these AI agents encounter gaps where human intervention previously bridged system boundaries, approvals, or data mismatches. Such failures reveal hidden integration weaknesses—workarounds once invisible—that now serve as a precise blueprint for where organizations must prioritize system integration to fully realize AI's potential.

The Fraud Ecosystem Has Industrialized. That’s Good News for Defenders Who Know Where to Look.

By / Blog / , ,

Payment fraud has evolved into an industrialized ecosystem supported by standardized infrastructure, packaged toolkits, and professional services, enabling threat actors to conduct large-scale attacks with less skill. Recorded Future's 2025 report highlights how this industrialization creates detectable patterns upstream of fraudulent transactions—such as Magecart e-skimmer infections, scam merchant setups, and card testing—that financial institutions can monitor proactively to prevent losses before fraud occurs.
