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. Major improvements in…
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…
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…
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 -…
These days, you never know where the next strategic metric will emerge. OODA Loop contributes to your efforts – signal tracking and sensemaking as part of your strategic foresight – essential to building out that organizational resiliency. This information cumulatively acts as an early warning system that allows for decision-making and action that has an…
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…
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…
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…
While cryptocurrency heists and ransomware attacks dominate the headlines (due to their sheer volume and scale), other types of cybercrime have grown in alarming ways as well. AtlasVPN recently compiled a very compelling accounting and visualization of 2021 cybercrime trends and statistics. Cybercrimes of note include skyrocketing rates of phishing sites, romance scams, general online-based…
We continue with our research and analysis of the food and agriculture (FA) sector and the cyber threat vector as agriculture and food systems and cyber risk have become a central driving force and critical uncertainty – which we recommend all companies and organizations integrate into their foresight strategy, scenario planning, and strategic planning.
OODA CTO Bob Gourley is joined by technologist and national security expert Dan Gerstein from Rand Corporation. Dan is also the author of the recently released book entitled “The Story of Technology”.
