How Masked Computing Could Unlock the Next Great Era of Human Discovery History rarely remembers the technologies that changed the world.
It is fear, fear of exposing sensitive information, losing competitive advantage, compromising privacy or placing critical intellectual property at risk.
It enables computation on protected information while maintaining cryptographic assurance that sensitive data remains concealed throughout the process.
Trust is no longer the primary safeguard because cryptographic verification provides independent evidence that protected information remained protected throughout the computation itself.
If proof creates confidence, and confidence enables collaboration, then fearless collaboration may become the foundation for the next great wave of human discovery.

Expanding the space attack surface.
For many years, the concept of space’s attack surface largely centered on spacecraft, ground stations, and the systems supporting them.
Today, space’s infrastructure includes larger constellations, orbital data centers, direct-to-device satellite connectivity, and potentially, in the coming years, infrastructure on the Moon.
This dynamic creates an interesting challenge for both existing and new space cybersecurity professionals.
As the dependency for space systems only continues to grow, so too will the potential consequences of a cyberattack or outage.

With escalating cyber attacks targeting both critical infrastructure and government, federal agencies need to balance a range of priorities across regulatory harmonization, cloud security, artificial intelligence and more.
However, in response to a GAO recommendation, EPA identified gaps in its legal authority to impose cyber risk assessment requirements on the water sector.
In response to the recent cyber attacks, lawmakers have proposed new legislation to bolster EPA’s authorities.
Even without new legal authorities, Hinchman says EPA could do more to help the water sector prepare for future cyber incidents.
Cyber attacks have also targeted telecommunications, energy, oil and gas pipelines, and numerous other sectors in recent years.

ISC2’s 2023 Cybersecurity Workforce Study estimated that South Africa had around 57,000 cybersecurity professionals, compared with about 8,000 in Nigeria.
INTERPOL’s 2026 assessment shows just how uneven cybersecurity capacity remains across Africa.
Most importantly, cybersecurity needs to be built into digital infrastructure from the outset.
Across Africa, governments and regional institutions increasingly treat digital identity, payments, data exchange, and other digital public infrastructure as foundational systems for economic development and public services.
Cybersecurity capacity needs to be understood in the same terms.
