This attack is just shedding light on the fact that you're even more vulnerable outside of the office, said Don Aviv, CEO of Interfor International, a security consultancy.

Retired Army Special Forces officer Mike Nelson criticized Hegseth's rhetoric, stating, 'That's a necessary end to achieve goals through military force - you have to kill people to achieve them. That's not the end. It's a weird obsession with death for the sake of it.'

The U.S. has discovered that air superiority and missile defense systems designed to counter tens/hundreds of aircraft and missiles is insufficient against asymmetric attacks of thousands of drones.

The conduct of War is, therefore, the formation and conduct of the fighting. If this fighting was a single act, there would be no necessity for any further subdivision, but the fight is composed of a greater or less number of single acts, complete in themselves, which we call combats, as we have shown in the first chapter of the first book, and which form new units.

You're stuck in that airplane until you land safely, the veteran Australian pilot says. Amid the expanding war in Iran with missiles piercing the skies over the Middle East pilots' regimented routes have been thrown into chaos. They've been forced to turn planes around mid-flight or squeeze into narrowing air corridors, with hundreds of lives in their hands.

I can't offer reassurance or tell you that you shouldn't feel under threat, but I can try to give you tools to meet the moment and help you understand that your most durable skills are cognitive, not technical. We'll cover five reflective practices you can use to become a sharper, more nimble, and more astute thinker in any external environment.

When the user asks "What enemy military unit is in the region?" the AIP Assistant guesses that it's "likely an armor attack battalion based on the pattern of the equipment." This prompts the analyst to request a MQ-9 Reaper drone to survey the scene. They then ask the AIP Assistant to "generate 3 courses of action to target this enemy equipment," and within moments, the assistant suggests attacking the unit with either an "air asset," a "long range artillery," or a "tactical team."

Lead without authority. You may not have direct reports, yet you shape architecture, quality and the roadmap. Your leverage comes from artifacts, reviews and clear standards, not from title.I started by publishing a lightweight architecture template and a rollout checklist that the team could copy. That reduced ambiguity during design and cut review cycles by nearly 30 percent

CISA's guidance is intended to assist critical infrastructure stakeholders, which includes private sector entities across various sectors, with implementing an insider threat mitigation program that combines physical security, cybersecurity, personnel awareness, and community partnerships. Although framed for critical infrastructure, CISA's guidance is relevant to a broader range of organizations, including those outside of critical infrastructure sectors.

Organizations traditionally approach security risk through a narrow lens, often equating "security" primarily with cybersecurity. While cybersecurity is critically important, it represents only one subset of a much broader security landscape. Cybersecurity focuses on the protection of technologies that collect, store, process and transmit data. By contrast, security-related risk encompasses all forms of loss arising from the failure to protect organizational assets.

Balancing gut feelings with hard data isn't a soft skill. It's a strategic advantage. In an era where AI, automation, and ubiquitous dashboards flood us with metrics, it's tempting to believe that better spreadsheets alone will yield better decisions. But our most consequential choices rarely emerge from a cell in column D. They arise from an ongoing negotiation between intuition and rational analysis.
