In most cities, nobody owns the whole network

Former Waco CIO argues cellular-connected water controllers sit outside scanned networks, and accountability plus operating-budget funding—not technology—block segmentation.

Writing as Waco, Texas's former CIO, the author describes July water-sector intrusions that CISA linked to over 100 compromised systems, typically controllers on public cellular links absent from asset lists. The FBI and EPA reported incidents at utilities in at least seven states since July 27, and a Clayton County, Georgia pump station failure triggered a boil-water advisory. He argues accountability and funding—using mechanisms like the Texas Water Development Board's new cybersecurity scoring criteria—are the binding constraints, citing Waco's 43-day segmentation of five treatment plants with operating funds.

Defense Cyber Spending Set to Surge Amid Rising Attacks on Military Systems

MarketsandMarkets projects the cyber warfare market to nearly double from $14.99bn in 2026 to $28.75bn by 2031, driven by attacks on military systems.

A MarketsandMarkets report projects the global cyber warfare market will grow from $14.99bn in 2026 to $28.75bn by 2031. Growth is driven by rising attacks on military networks, reliance on connected platforms and cloud command-and-control systems, and Western investment in offensive cyber capabilities. Europe is projected to hold the largest market share, supported by NATO's shared cyber capabilities and joint exercises. Cloud-based security is expected to be the fastest-growing market segment.

The democratization of cyber warfare — and what it means for CISOs

CSO Online argues AI is democratizing cyber warfare, citing Taiwan's first largely autonomous AI-driven attack that hit 85 government accounts.

CSO Online argues AI is accelerating the democratization of cyber warfare by collapsing cost and skill barriers, with effects already reaching the private sector. It cites the August disclosure of the first largely autonomous AI-enabled attack on Taiwan government infrastructure, where up to eight agents operating simultaneously compromised at least 85 government accounts and exfiltrated more than 2,500 personnel records before expanding to the nuclear safety agency and energy companies. The piece places this in a historical arc from crossbows to cheap drones and cites Kane Gamble's 2015 solo social-engineering compromise of senior US intelligence officials as evidence that low-resource attackers were already viable.

What is Proactive Threat Intelligence? | Recorded Future

Recorded Future publishes a vendor explainer on proactive threat intelligence, arguing external adversary context helps teams act before alerts fire.

Recorded Future published a conceptual blog on proactive threat intelligence, describing how external context on adversaries, infrastructure, stolen credentials, and vulnerability exploitation helps security teams act before intrusions surface internally. The piece outlines a four-step program: defining intelligence requirements, collecting external sources including OSINT and dark web, analyzing relevance to the organization, and driving security actions. Use cases include prioritizing CVEs by real-world exploitation activity and identifying external exposure before it becomes an internal incident.

Exclusive: NSA to host a hacker reunion in bid to rebuild secretive unit

NSA will host a reunion of former Tailored Access Operations hackers as it moves to rebuild and rebrand the elite unit.

The invitation-only event at Fort Meade, spearheaded by Deputy Director Tim Kosiba, a former TAO technical director, will tour the new TAO building and pitch alumni to return. TAO, credited with contributions to Stuxnet and once grown to over 2,000 personnel, was renamed Computer Network Operations about a decade ago, and the recent reshuffle undid some of those changes after NSA lost roughly 2,100 staff (8% of its workforce) last year.

Why 2026 is the Year to Upgrade to an Agentic AI SOC

Elastic Security Labs argues 2026 is the production inflection point for agentic AI in security operations centers.

Elastic Security Labs argues 2026 is the practical inflection point for agentic AI SOCs, noting nearly two-thirds of organizations are experimenting with AI agents while fewer than one in four have production deployments. The piece outlines operational challenges and recommendations: treat agents as non-human identities with least-privilege tool access, version-control system prompts as code, deploy unified agents with on-demand task packages, and enforce per-agent budgets and rate limits. It stresses explainability via RAG and transparent reasoning traces so analysts can verify and override autonomous decisions.
