Quantum’s Next Decade: How the Coming Wave of Quantum and AI Will Reshape Enterprise Technology and Competitive Advantage
Quantum computing has moved from thought experiment to strategic battleground, with direct implications for how industries will compute, discover drugs, secure data, and price risk over the next decade. What began as a theoretical challenge to Einstein’s intuition about the nature of reality is now a multibillion‑dollar race among technology giants, specialized startups, and governments…

How Quantum Computing Will Reshape AI and Enterprise Technology
Quantum computing is on a trajectory to become one of the most important accelerators of artificial intelligence, not by replacing classical systems, but by augmenting them in areas where today’s hardware and algorithms hit hard limits. Over the next decade, the organizations that understand and adopt hybrid quantum–AI workflows will gain a structural advantage in…

When AI Meets Quantum: How the Next Computing Revolution Will Reshape Business, Risk, and Strategy
Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are each transforming computing on their own. When combined, they have the potential to reshape entire industries, redefine competitive advantage, and challenge longstanding assumptions about what machines can “know” and do. This merger is not science fiction. It is emerging today in research labs, hyperscale data centers, and early-stage deployments…

The $1 Million Password: How One Infostealer Campaign Exposed the Gap Between Enterprise Security Rhetoric and Reality
One criminal leveraged old stolen passwords and a lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to quietly breach roughly 50 large enterprises—showcasing that the weakest link in cloud security is not technology, but basic governance and accountability. This campaign, run by a threat actor known as Zestix or Sentap, is a case study in how organizations can…

A Silent Exposure: How Illinois’ Human Services Agency Left 700,000 Residents’ Health Data Public for Years
Illinois’ largest human services agency left sensitive health-related data for nearly 700,000 people exposed on the open internet for years—then waited more than 100 days after discovering the problem to tell anyone. The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) now faces questions that go far beyond a single misconfiguration. The breach, disclosed publicly in early…

The Ransomware Paradox: How 8,000 Attacks, State Hacks, and a 700,000-Record Breach Redefined Cyber Risk in 2025
Ransomware in 2025 reached a historic paradox: law enforcement notched some of its biggest victories against cybercriminals, yet the world endured more attacks, more disruption, and more victims than ever before. Instead of killing ransomware, the takedowns helped transform it—away from a few powerful “brands” and toward a fragmented, industrial-scale ecosystem that is harder to…

The $262 Million Security Theater: How MFA Failures and Three‑Year‑Old Passwords Fueled a Global Infostealer Breach
A single criminal campaign has exposed a structural weakness at the heart of modern enterprise security: organizations are spending heavily on advanced tools while still allowing three‑year‑old stolen passwords to unlock terabytes of their most sensitive data. Over roughly a year, a threat actor known as Zestix (aka Sentap) quietly breached about 50 global enterprises…

How One Access Broker Quietly Breached Dozens of Global Enterprises—And Exposed the Limits of Traditional Security
A single criminal operating under the aliases Zestix and Sentap has quietly breached dozens of major global enterprises not by exploiting advanced zero‑day vulnerabilities, but by doing something far simpler: logging in with valid usernames and passwords stolen from employees’ own devices. This campaign exposes a fundamental weakness in modern corporate security strategies—an overreliance on…

Racing Against the AI Clock: How the Pentagon Is Automating Its Cybersecurity Fortress
The Pentagon is racing to secure an AI‑enabled military at the same speed that new AI threats emerge. To break out of a human‑limited, episodic testing model, the Department of Defense (DOD) is moving from traditional red‑team exercises to autonomous purple‑team operations—AI systems that continuously attack, defend, and validate the security of battlefield and enterprise…
