Cyber in Space: Why AI, Compute, Power, and Energy Are Becoming the New Strategic Battleground
Space systems are rapidly evolving from national assets into globally interconnected critical infrastructure that supports communications, navigation, AI, defense, and other sectors. As this accelerates, so do cybersecurity threats to satellites and orbital infrastructure. Government must begin treating orbital infrastructure as part of the strategic digital backbone of modern civilization.
“Speeding Up… Without Spinning Out: Fixing the Government Decision Gap”
Government is moving fast, but speed alone is not delivering better outcomes. As AI and automation accelerate decision-making, a gap is emerging between how quickly decisions are made and how well they are governed, understood, and sustained. This article explores how leaders can close the decision gap by strengthening clarity, consistency, and control across policy,… Read more »
From Defense to Advantage: Cyber Strategy and the Workforce Shift in 2026
The new Cyber Strategy is a shift from defensive to proactive. But it will require a capable workforce. Here’s how to align strategy and workforce development.
AI at Scale: What’s Driving Global Adoption
Governments and institutions are no longer asking whether to adopt AI, but how to scale it for economic, operational and geopolitical advantage.
The Next Domain of National and Economic Security
As space systems become software-defined and increasingly commercialized, cyber risk in orbit is no longer theoretical, it is systemic.
From Talent Gap to Capability Pipeline: Rethinking the Future Workforce in an AI-Driven World
The future workforce challenge isn’t a talent shortage, it’s a pipeline design problem. As AI and cyber reshape work, organizations must shift from filling roles to building continuous, adaptive capability systems that produce decision-ready leaders at scale. Those who invest in integrated workforce pipelines today will define competitive advantage tomorrow.
The Invisible Constraint on AI: Why Infrastructure, not Innovation, Will Define Government Advantage
AI is no longer constrained by innovation; it is constrained by infrastructure, energy, and compute availability. As demand accelerates, leaders must shift from focusing on applications to designing resilient, scalable systems that enable sustained advantage. The future will be defined by who can power, govern, and scale AI effectively.
The Rise of Human-AI Decision Teams in Government
AI is reshaping decision-making across government, creating hybrid human-AI decision teams that combine machine speed and pattern recognition with human judgment, accountability, and context. Such collaboration can deliver faster and more effective mission outcomes, risk detection, and other benefits.
Privacy in the Enterprise-AI Age: Strategic Implications Across Government and Key Infrastructure
As government organizations make greater use of AI, their privacy risks are expanding beyond traditional data protection. Critical infrastructure sectors must address new challenges related to data aggregation and accountability for AI-assisted decisions, among other concerns. To navigate this landscape successfully, organizations must enforce strong privacy protections to sustain innovation while maintaining public trust.
