Our Foreground Reading : Ideas, proposals and projects at the heart of everything we’re planning
A cybersecurity company raises at least $400 million of investment with a leadership team sourced from the US National Security Agency (NSA), yet cybercrime continues to increase vertiginously year-on-year.
What is actually happening here?
Why did their business fail to find its market, when the market is so big?
When one of the most prominent and historical players in security has a vulnerability which permits a hack through a firewall, what’s really going on?
How can basic mistakes surface so easily in this way?
When perhaps the most-used cloud provider of all is out for a whole day, an outage as long as that, as if for a weekend walk in the park and a picnic among friends, why does no one say anything one way or the other?
And when Jaguar Land Rover workers sit on their hands for months because one bad-actor hack froze everything they are, requiring a soft loan of billions from the UK government just to keep them in business, where will this end?
Will it end?
Where is the problem, actually?
Ordinary users to blame — users like you and me?
Clever hackers out there — as many seem to want to claim?
Or bad-hack automation, used to break centralised infrastructure, encryption capability, and data integrity all round? A generative AI which has been designed from the ground up to deliver a penetrative, protection-racket business model.
And the solutions — where do they lie?
Some on the other pages of this site, ready for implementation, or on the point of seeing the light of days which lately seem only to be darkening.
Meantime, on this page you’ll find our Foreground Reading: ideas, proposals and projects at the heart of everything we’re planning.
