    Security Will Be Agentic (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Artificial intelligence has already transformed the way security teams detect and investigate events. But Vikesh Khanna believes the industry is approaching a more consequential shift: AI systems that don't simply identify what is happening, but understand context, assess risk and help determine what should happen next. As CTO and co-founder of Ambient.ai, Khanna is helping advance what the company calls Agentic Physical Security, an approach built around always-on AI reasoning rather than tradi

    The Software Engine Behind the New Security Services Economy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For decades, contract security has been built around a deceptively simple transaction: a client needs a guard, a provider supplies one, and someone gets paid for the hours worked. But as enterprise security programs have become more distributed and data-dependent, the limitations of that transaction are becoming harder to ignore. Protos Security has spent two decades challenging that model. In a March 2026 SIW feature, CEO Mark Hjelle described the company’s approach as a deliberate departure fr

We spent more than two decades building the federal critical-infrastructure shield: agencies, boards, information-sharing hubs, threat-hunting teams, and we are now dismantling it in real time, while the adversary watches the demolition and takes notes. Run the evidence again. An alleged Iranian cyberattack on water systems in more than a dozen American m

    America’s Water Systems Are Still Too Exposed to Cyberattack (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Since mid-July, water and wastewater systems in at least 12 states have reported cyber intrusions, putting a stark new face on a vulnerability security officials have warned about for years. Iranian-linked sources on Telegram have claimed responsibility on behalf of the CyberAv3ngers, a group associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), while the FBI and CISA have stopped short of publicly assigning definitive blame. But attribution may ultimately be less important than what

    Charlie Pierce: The CCTV Whisperer Who Taught an Industry to See (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There are people who master technology. Then there are the rare few who change the way an entire industry thinks about it. The first time I met Charlie was in 1989 at a security technology conference in Cincinnati that I was hosting. I was still a newcomer to the industry, organizing one of my first technical events. Charlie was scheduled to teach an advanced analog CCTV class to a room filled with seasoned systems integrators, consultants and end users. Curious, I peeked through the ballroom do
