12 Best <b>Cybersecurity</b> Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Long Term

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard. Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences. At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040. Put another way, that’s roughly equal to: - 175 Teslas - 107 Amazons - 140 Metas - 84 Googles - 65 Microsofts - And 55 Nvidias And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy. It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide. Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential. How could anything be worth that much? The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates. And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors. What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution. In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals. Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves. - Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education,

Finite State Wins the 2026 <b>IoT</b> Industrial Solutions Award

SALT LAKE CITY and COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 29, 2026 — Finite State, a leader in product security and software supply chain risk management, today announced that it has been named the winner of the 2026 IoT Industrial Solutions Award for the Product Security OS. The AI-native platform helps connected-device organizations continuously understand, prioritize and manage firmware and embedded software risk, including the long-lived operational environments that define industrial systems. Finite State was recognized for a practical, scalable approach to securing the embedded software, connected devices, industrial control systems and operational technology that must run reliably for decades. As software grows more deeply embedded across manufacturing, energy, logistics and critical infrastructure, visibility into deployed firmware and software components has become essential to keeping operations secure and compliant. Why Finite State won The Finite State Product Security OS provides deep visibility into firmware and embedded software through binary analysis, software composition analysis, reachability intelligence, vulnerability prioritization, compliance workflows and automated security reporting. Rather than relying on vendor documentation or manually maintained inventories, the platform analyzes deployed firmware directly to identify software components, hidden dependencies, vulnerabilities and operational risk. Beyond detection, Finite State connects that analysis to engineering, operations and compliance, keeping what is designed, deployed and operating in the field in alignment. Finite State's measurable results include: - 90% reduction in vulnerability triage noise through reachability analysis - More than 4.4 million unreachable findings eliminated across analyzed firmware environments since 2024 - Analysis times reduced from over four hours to less than one hour - 22× growth in monthly scans since 2024 as organizations adopted continuous monitoring approaches “Industrial organizations are increasingly dependent on software running inside connected assets that often remain deployed for decades,” said Jordan Hayes, IoThinkTank Awards coordinator. “Finite State stood out for helping operators understand what is actually

The World IoT Processor market is entering a transformative decade, structurally bifurcating between high-volume, low-margin legacy microcontrollers and high-value edge artificial intelligence (AI) compute platforms. Value growth is outpacing unit growth by an estimated 3–5 percentage points annually over the forecast period, as inference processing migrates to the IoT edge. An accelerating share of new IoT processor designs integrate dedicated neural processing units (NPUs) to enable real-time local AI inference, reducing reliance on cloud connectivity and lowering system latency for industrial automation, smart surveillance, and autonomous systems. Supply chain concentration in East Asia for leading-edge fabrication and advanced packaging remains the single most important structural risk, driving parallel investments in capacity expansion across the United States, Europe, and Japan under sovereign semiconductor policies. RISC-V architecture-based designs are reshaping the competitive landscape, projected to occupy a low-double-digit share of global IoT processor shipments by the mid-2030s, eroding the long-standing dominance of Arm-based cores in cost-sensitive and security-conscious applications. Functional safety and cybersecurity are becoming baseline requirements, as regulatory frameworks such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, and IEC 62443 extend from traditional industrial and automotive domains into broader IoT infrastructure, raising the technical barrier to entry and extending product validation cycles. Geopolitical fragmentation of

Why Basic Security Weaknesses are Still the Greatest Threat to the Energy Sector

By Itay Glick Energy sector cybersecurity focuses on nation-state threats, but breaches stem from basic failures like default credentials and weak OT controls. On 29 December 2025, coordinated attacks struck more than 30 energy facilities across Poland in the middle of winter. A detailed report by CERT Polska revealed that whilst the state-backed attacker was a sophisticated outfit, the vulnerabilities they exploited were anything but. What lessons should be taken from the CERT Polska report? The scale and destructive intent behind the attacks in Poland should have everyone paying attention. Simultaneous strikes across more than 30 renewable energy installations, a manufacturing company, and a major heat supplier required a high degree of coordination. At the same time, every action was designed to disrupt and destroy, with no ransom demand and no financial motive. CERT Polska’s forensic analysis attributed the attack infrastructure to a Russian state-backed cluster with a long history of targeting energy sector entities. However, I think the biggest learning point is actually the fundamental security flaws the group used to gain system access. Every affected facility was accessed through FortiGate devices acting as VPN gateways. They were exposed to the internet, with no multi-factor authentication in place and static credentials that had never been rotated. These weren’t zero-days or novel techniques but known weaknesses that had simply never been addressed. Another detail that stands out is that, in every instance where non-default credentials were properly configured, the attack failed. This is an extremely basic part of cyber hygiene, but it was enough to deflect a well-resourced, state-sponsored actor. Why do basic security failures remain the most significant risk for energy companies? Most sectors struggle with the fundamentals, but these flaws are especially prevalent in areas like energy which rely on operational technology (OT). The hardware in these environments

NVIDIA Unlocks AI Compute Access With New Revenue-Sharing Model for Cloud Partners

NVIDIA is rewriting the rules on how startups and enterprises get access to the computing power behind artificial intelligence. On July 5, the chipmaker unveiled a new business arrangement designed to remove one of the biggest bottlenecks facing the AI industry today: getting enough large-scale, reliable compute fast enough to keep up with demand. The announcement lands at a moment when AI workloads are shifting dramatically. Companies are moving away from one-time model training projects and toward AI systems that run continuously, generating responses, code, and content around the clock for paying customers. That shift changes what infrastructure providers need to deliver, and NVIDIA Unlocks AI compute access specifically to meet that changing demand. For smaller AI companies that have struggled to secure financing for expensive data center buildouts, even with long-term customer commitments in hand, the new model could mark a turning point in how quickly they can scale. Why NVIDIA Unlocks AI Compute Access Now The AI industry has hit a financing gap that has quietly slowed growth across the sector. Building the kind of large-scale, multi-tenant accelerated computing infrastructure that modern AI services require takes enormous upfront capital. Historically, only the largest hyperscalers had the balance sheets to make that bet. Emerging AI companies, including model builders, inference providers, and research organizations, have found themselves stuck. Even when they land major customer contracts, those commitments alone often are not enough to unlock the financing needed to build or lease the compute capacity to serve them. A Revenue-Sharing Structure Built for Speed NVIDIA’s new approach changes the financial mechanics behind these deals. Rather than requiring AI clouds to purchase hardware outright and hope demand materializes, the company is offering a model built on economic alignment. Under the arrangement, AI clouds can procure NVIDIA infrastructure specifically for AI-native companies,

He said their successful adoption could accelerate smart city development, digital healthcare, online education, intelligent transport systems, and more efficient public services. Khan also stressed the need for regulatory stability, transparent spectrum policies, affordable 5G licensing, investment incentives for rural connectivity, tax reforms, and stronger cybersecurity and data protection measures. He added that closer collaboration between government, telecom operators, technology companies, and academia is vital to developing a skilled workforce capable of supporting Pakistan’s digital future. “Pakistan’s telecommunications sector has immense growth potential, but realizing it requires a modern, innovation-driven policy framework,” Khan said.

Vietnam proposes priority procurement list for strategic semiconductor chips

Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology has drafted a decision establishing a list of specialised semiconductor chips eligible for government procurement, a move aimed at accelerating the development of strategic chips for digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), defence, security, telecommunications and national digital infrastructure. The proposed list includes 16 categories of specialised chips covering a wide range of core technologies, including AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity, telecommunications, robotics, energy and electronic devices. Under the proposal, the Ministry of Science and Technology will work with relevant ministries and agencies to periodically review socio-economic developments and submit recommendations to the Prime Minister for updating the list of chip categories eligible for priority government procurement. The proposed policy is seen as a significant step toward creating a stable domestic market for Vietnam's semiconductor design and manufacturing industry. Rather than providing broad-based support, the government procurement mechanism would channel resources into strategically important chip technologies that underpin digital infrastructure, AI, next-generation telecommunications, cybersecurity and high-tech industries. By fostering demand for locally designed semiconductors, the initiative is expected to strengthen the "Make in Vietnam" semiconductor ecosystem, enhance technological self-reliance and support the development of higher-value domestic chip production.

Digital Sovereignty and Cyber Supply Chain Risks

By Annika Nevaste Cyber attackers increasingly exploit supply chains as the weak underbelly of European business. Securing supply chain resilience is now critical. Mercurial world leaders, geopolitical tensions and growing reliance on non-EU technology providers are pushing digital sovereignty to the top of the agenda for the EU and European business leaders. The EU relies on non-EU countries for over 80% of digital products, services, infrastructure, and intellectual property. Excessive dependencies on non-EU actors in critical technologies pose risks to European sovereignty and resilience.[i] The EU has already taken steps to strengthen cyber security regulations, but supply chains still represent a poorly understood source of vulnerability. While digital sovereignty has risen up the policy agenda, the greatest and least understood threat lies in the cybersecurity risks embedded in global supply chains. These are risks that cannot be addressed through regulation alone. And for many organizations, those risks sit just out of sight, buried deep within supply chains they assume are secure. Securing EU sovereignty In recognition of growing risks to EU sovereignty, the block has set a clear objective to strengthen capacity, resilience and security by reducing strategic dependencies, preventing reliance on foreign actors and single service providers, and safeguarding critical technologies and infrastructure[ii]. However, the most critical vulnerabilities do not sit inside European systems. They sit within the supply chains those systems rely on. The EU has taken steps to strengthen cybersecurity through frameworks such as the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which impose stricter requirements for supply chain security and third‑party risk management, including the assessment of supplier vulnerabilities and the mitigation of risks associated with providers in high‑risk third countries. Complementing these measures, the Cyber Resilience Act aims to enhance the baseline security of digital products placed on the EU market. Although these

Fable 5 facilitates <b>IoT</b> botnet planning, researcher claims | Let's Data Science

Fable 5 facilitates IoT botnet planning, researcher claims Independent security researcher Alec Armbruster claims that Claude Fable 5, restored by Anthropic on July 1, 2026 after a 19-day export-control suspension, still helped him plan an IoT botnet targeting real default-credentialed devices using a simple "let's say" hypothetical framing, with no apparent change from his pre-suspension tests. According to Armbruster's blog post, he ran the same prompt against GLM-5.2, GPT-5.5, and Claude Opus 4.8, and those models refused or failed to complete the task. The claim is from a single, unverified blog post; Anthropic has not publicly responded to it. Notably, Armbruster's IoT technique appears distinct from the Amazon-reported vulnerability-identification bypass that triggered the original U.S. Commerce Department shutdown, which Anthropic's new safety classifier specifically targets. The more useful question here is not just whether Armbruster's specific claim holds up, it is what it reveals about scope: Anthropic's post-restoration fix was explicitly built to block "the behavior described in" the Amazon report, not to close every borderline cybersecurity-adjacent prompt path. If Armbruster's IoT botnet-planning technique is a different behavior than the one Amazon reported, a targeted classifier update would plausibly miss it even if Anthropic's fix worked exactly as described. That is a distinction practitioners evaluating vendor safety claims should track: a patch confirmed to close one reported bypass is not evidence the model is closed to all similar-looking bypasses. What happened Anthropic suspended Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 worldwide on June 12, 2026, after the U.S. Commerce Department issued an export control directive following a report from Amazon researchers that Fable 5 could be prompted to identify software vulnerabilities and, in one case, produce exploit code. Anthropic's own account says this reflected a narrow, non-universal jailbreak class, noting that several other models it tested (including GPT-5.5 and Kimi K2.7)

ISA OT <b>Cybersecurity</b> Summit Hosted in Prague for 2026

July 1, 2026 — The International Society of Automation (ISA) just hosted its fourth annual ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit in Prague, Czechia on 16-18 June 2026 — and as usual, this event is the place for OT cybersecurity practitioners to learn, network and grow! Read on for a summary of what has quickly become the industry's leading event for industrial cybersecurity and technical content surrounding the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards. 25 years of standardization for OT cybersecurity ISA began working on cybersecurity standards in 2001 to provide much-needed security guidance for operational technology systems. It is remarkable to see how that dedication to making a difference has led to so many great things: - The globally recognized standards series, ISA/IEC 62443, - A full line up of training and certification offerings and - The establishment of the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance and the ISASecure® conformity assessment programs. Now, as we work to maintain, update and grow all of these initiatives, ISA must keep in line with the ever-changing challenges faced by this community. Regulatory efforts like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) are top of our minds today, of course. We also must continue to consider the impact of global conflicts, compliance needs and, of course, what is coming next with AI and its impact on operational security posture. 2026 areas of focus: Threat intelligence, supply chain, industrial safety and cyber-physical security The ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit featured two content tracks on threat intelligence and supply chain, as well as industrial safety and cyber-physical security, with a total of 312 attendees and 41 speakers across 31 sessions. Day one kicked off with a powerhouse breakfast session, the Cyber Empowerment Forum (pictured above). Led by moderator Megan Samford of Schneider Electric, panelists included Berta Jarošová, cyber attachée to the United States
