In this exclusive SecurityWeek interview, Brian “SchleiF” Schleifer sits down with Clint Bodungen, Director of AI/ML Engineering at Arcovo, founder of ThreatGen, and one of the industry’s leading voices in industrial cybersecurity. Together they tackle why traditional governance often fails practitioners, how cybersecurity has evolved over the past two decades, and why the biggest vulnerability is still people not technology. Clint also shares, for the first time publicly, the story behind the MindStone Agent, his open-source agentic AI project designed to bring persistent memory, identity, and continuity to AI assistants. The conversation concludes with a real-world ransomware response where autonomous…

Standard view treats physics as fundamental — matter, energy, fields — with information as merely a description we lay on top. Google Deepmind Demis Hassabis inverts this. Prior physicists John Wheeler’s “it from bit”, Konrad Zuse’s and Ed Fredkin’s digital physics also view information and computation are the bedrock. Matter/energy are what information looks like from the inside. The universe, on this view, is not like a computation. The universe is computation. Its evolution over time is the running of some deep informational process, and physical law is the program. Why does Demis Hassabis believe in the Computational Universe ?…

RugOne Xlink 7: 30-second reviewThe RugOne Xlink 7 wants to solve an old problem in a new way. Traditional walkie-talkies are brilliant until you walk out of range. Hills block them. Buildings block them. Distance blocks them. The Xlink 7 sidesteps all of that by using 4G instead of short-range radio, so two or three people can stay in touch across a city, a country, or, in theory, the…

Ask most people why they still buy a movie or a show outright in the age of the all-you-can-eat subscription, and you’ll get a shrug and a tossed-off comment about wanting an old favorite on hand without having to hunt down which service currently carries it. That argument got even stronger this month, when Apple began upgrading purchased TV shows to 4K for free. That’s roughly 50 titles so far, including all seven seasons of Mad Men and the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, bumped up at no extra cost for anyone who already owned them in…

Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying agent changes to production on automated evaluation alone — with no human in the loop. The result is an evaluation gap — the distance between how much autonomy enterprises are…

Twice each day, tides ebb and flow through a maze of sandy channels, mudflats, and mangrove forests that flank the 88 islands and islets of Guinea-Bissau’s Bijagós Archipelago (Arquipélago dos Bijagós in Portuguese). Seen from above, the process leads to stark changes to the landscape: around low tide, intertidal mudflats and sandflats emerge from the sea, causing islands to grow significantly before shrinking again hours later. The perpetual rhythm of the tides sustains outpourings of marine life in an archipelago that, as of 2025, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The site protects the only active deltaic archipelago…

Windows is a great operating system, but it doesn’t always feel that way out of the box. The actual magic comes from third-party apps that help fix various Windows annoyances, let you customize the look and feel, and add features Microsoft forgot to include.
