For decades, cybersecurity has drawn a distinction between Information Technology (IT), which processes information and Operational Technology (OT), which directly influences physical or business operations. The rise of AI agents is beginning to blur that boundary. Unlike traditional software, AI agents do not simply execute predefined instructions. They observe environments, analyse information, make decisions and […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer simply another technology cycle. It is becoming an exponential accelerant acting upon every other domain it touches. Unlike previous waves of transformation that largely evolved in isolation, AI is creating connective tissue between disciplines, systems and industries that were never originally designed to converge. The result is not linear […]

A valid challenge raised with me is that trust has always been implicit within traditional professional cyber services. I believe that framing now understates its true value. I see trust evolving into an independent authority layer sitting above increasingly commoditised cyber activities, whose value is being compressed by automation and unsustainable utilisation led delivery models. […]

I still live in hope, that 2026 will mark the point at which cyber security is no longer treated as a technical or compliance function, just a security issue but accepted in its true global economy role as a core pillar of trust, resilience and macro-economic stability a systemic risk. Helped in no small part […]

This is very much a consolidated response to comments received following my earlier post (Full Visibility, Zero Control – How Crypto Exposes the Illusion of Financial Power) challenged the spectre of Stablecoins sidelining Crypto like Bitcoin. So to be a bit more focused on that point, in a world characterised by trust erosion without a […]

Another weekend and another headline prophesying the AI bubble is nigh. Much of the current AI bubble debate it appears to me is still focused on the visible layer, that of GPU shortages, hyperscaler capex, power consumption, small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear powered data centres and trillion-dollar semiconductor valuations. The market narrative largely assumes the […]

There was a time when Bitcoin was dismissed as the preserve of hoodie wearing anarchists and fringe actors and was misunderstood to be empowering the individual with financial anonymity. Today, it is monitored with such analytical precision that one could almost imagine His Majesties revenue & Customs (HMRC) preferring to audit the ledger itself rather […]

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has confidentially filed a draft prospectus to regulators, which could mean it’s considering an Initial Public Offering (IPO) as soon as July 2026. The race to build orbital data centres and space-based AI infrastructure has now truly begun. As SpaceX seeks permission to launch up to 1 million solar‑powered satellites engineered as […]

The conversation around AI agents is accelerating but so is a fundamental misconception. Following a recent IDC dinner, one theme stood out in an AI Agent discussion, a conflation of AI agents with IoT. They are not the same thing. IoT senses and acts, AI agents decide. That distinction matters. AI agents are not devices, […]

Much of the AI industry remains obsessed with the engine. Every week brings a new benchmark, a new model release, or a new claim that one frontier model has overtaken another. Yet as model performance begins to converge, organisations may be focusing on the wrong source of competitive advantage.The real differentiator is increasingly the harness. […]
