Escalation of Nation-State & Ransomware Threats

  AI & Generative Tech: A Double-Edged Sword

Artificial Intelligence and generative models are at the frontier of information security challenges. On one hand, defenders are deploying AI to detect anomalies, automate threat hunting, and accelerate response.On the other hand, adversaries are also leveraging AI to craft more convincing phishing attacks, generate deepfake content, and probe defenses in smarter ways.

 In 2025, one of the most pressing shifts is the intensification of cyberattacks backed or influenced by nation-state actors. These campaigns often target critical infrastructure, government systems, and strategic industries—seeking espionage, disruption, or geopolitical leverage.At the same time, ransomware attacks have evolved from mere data extortion to broader disruption strategies: attackers sometimes aim to degrade operations or cause reputational harm, not just demand payment.




Supply Chain & Vulnerability Overload

Modern systems are deeply interconnected, and that makes supply chain attacks especially potent. Attackers exploit weak links in vendor software, third-party services, or hardware components to infiltrate otherwise secure systems.The scale of vulnerabilities itself is overwhelming: the number of disclosed CVEs and zero-days continues to rise rapidly, making it difficult for defenders to patch and prioritize effectively.

 Identity, Trust, & Zero Trust Strategies

As perimeter defenses become less reliable in a cloud-native, hybrid environment, identity has emerged as the new security frontier. Many organizations are adopting “identity-first” or “zero trust” architectures where trust is not assumed merely by location or network context.Governance of identities, privileges, credential management, and least privilege access models are becoming central pillars of defenses.

AI + coding in industry adoption

Image
 “Vibe Coding” / AI-driven natural-language coding The concept of vibe coding (i.e. writing software via natural language prompts rather than detailed manual coding) is gaining traction.It’s being viewed as an extension of “software + AI agents” — letting people express intent, and letting AI fill in boilerplate, structure, and details.But there are warnings: automatically generated code can carry security risks (e.g. reintroducing known vulnerabilities) if not carefully reviewed. Agentic / AI coding tool advances  At DevDay 2025 , OpenAI introduced an Agent Kit and updates to its Codex model, to better support building AI agents.GitHub (via Copilot) is embedding agents that can autonomously fix bugs, add features, and improve documentation — operating within your repo, analyzing code context, and proposing changes.Microsoft is planning to evolve GitHub further to be more AI-native, so that coding, security, analytics, etc., are more tightly integrated.

Computer Science Among Majors With Highest Unemployment In US

Image
Computer science has been one of the most popular college majors in recent years. Many students choose it believing it offers strong job prospects and high salaries. However, recent data reveals a different story in the United States: many graduates are struggling to find jobs in the field. According to a report by Newsweek, based on data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, computer science ranks seventh among undergraduate majors with the highest unemployment rate-currently at 6.1 percent. This places it just behind other majors like physics (7.8 percent). HR consultant Bryan Driscoll told Newsweek that many students are given unrealistic expectations about what a computer science degree guarantees. He pointed out that despite working hard and choosing a "top" major, many graduates face tough competition, limited opportunities, and growing student debt. He added that in the current market, a candidate's background or university name often outweighs their actual sk...
