  • US Cyber Team Competes at 1st International Cybersecurity Challenge

    In May, OODA announced our ongoing sponsorship of the US Cyber Games and the start of Season II (with the US Cyber Open Kick-Off Event on June 30, 2022). In the meantime,  the first-ever U.S. Cyber Team announced to compete in the inaugural International Cybersecurity Challenge (ICC) in Athens, Greece is in ICC competition this…

  • Is Russia-India Cyber Cooperation on the Horizon?

    A formalized cyber agreement between Russia and India is a logical progression for Moscow both in appearance as well as from a practical standpoint.  After all, both countries are known for their technological sectors and experienced IT workforce, and both have adopted multistakeholder bases and scientific cooperation. Therefore, it comes as little surprise that the…

  • Opportunities for Advantage: Natural Language Processing – Meta AI Builds a Huge GPT-3 Model and Makes it Available for Free

    OODA CTO Bob Gourley recently provided a discussion of the potential impacts and use cases of improved natural language processing (NLP), in which he highlighted the major developments in computer language understanding in a way that can help enterprise and government leaders better prepare to take action on these incredible new capabilities.

  • The Software Supply Chain Security Mobilization Plan and Google’s Assured Open-Source Software Initiative

    Here at OODA Loop, during the recent spate of unprecedented Joint Cybersecurity Advisories (CSA), we praised CISA and the results of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) – which was launched only late last year.   Overall, as OODA CTO Bob Gourley recently pointed out:  “We are so pleased with the quality of work and the…

  • Optical Communications Innovation and Laser Satellites are the Future of Space Communications

    Our recent coverage of commercial space has included DoD efforts to leverage the commercial space internet as “future military operations will be multi-domain and will be conducted with unprecedented speed.”  Experimental DoD efforts are focused on building a “robust systems architecture ecosystem with the growth of exponential technologies like AI in mind”, which will be…

  • The Future of Automation and The Recent Industrial Robot Sales Surge

    Automation, as a subject for OODA Loop research and analysis, cuts a broad swath across many industry verticals.  As we attempt to further scope our coverage, specific areas of interest have emerged that we thought would be of interest to the OODA Loop membership: Security Automation; Automation and the Workforce; Automation – or Augmentation -…

  • Blockchain-enabled Digital Self-Sovereignty – Patients will be Able to Sell Healthcare Data via Blockchain-based Exchange

    While cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies are not official exponential technologies, they are exponential-adjacent.  Why? As we shared in our recent post “By Design, The Quantum List Companies are Strategically Structured for Exponential Speed and Scale” a driver fueling exponential technologies is information:  Once any domain, discipline, technology, or industry becomes information-enabled and powered by information…

  • Will the United States Enact a National Data Privacy Law?

    Mandatory security requirements, information handling restrictions, and security accountability are standards all organizations should be able and willing to implement, and which can be supervised by an oversight body like the FTC. It might not be a complete fix, but it would be a necessary start, and one that is desperately needed given the complexity…

  • By Design, The Quantum List Companies are Strategically Structured for Exponential Speed and Scale

    At some point, like artificial intelligence, quantum will be “in the midst of a real-world paradigm shift: the final stages  of a decades-long transition from the scientific discipline known as quantum computing (and its various sub-disciplines) into an array of applied quantum computing technologies made more widely available through innovative enterprise architectures unique to the…
