Dear Reader,
Can you believe it's already summer? Welcome to the summer edition of Cyber Protection Magazine. Following all the AI hype, we decided to focus on a somewhat broader topic: Non-Human-Identities (NHI). Along with a history of of NHI, we have a diverse set of opinions on the use of NHI.
We start with cautiously optimistic views regarding restrained development. Caique Zaniolo of Cyferd advises building NHI with intent to avoid the security risks. Consultant Wyatt Mayham suggests knowing who is what on the internet with up-to-date authentication of all identities. Milankumar Rana, a software engineer from FedEx compares what is promised and what is actually possible with Agentic AI. Even StrikeReady CEO Alex Lanstein sees this gap, in the form of misunderstanding the application of agentic AI.
Vinod Goje of Bank of America and Peter Horadan of the identity company range from cautiously optimistic about the rise of NHI to absolutely Pollyanna-ish.
But nowhere is the impact of NHI and AI more dangerous and damaging than the area of marketing. Traditional SEO approaches are being hammered. Web traffic is crashing for publications and companies as search engines add AI boxes to the top of the search pages. Deppa Chauhan, senior SEO specialist at Accelirate, looks into that impact.
Finally, Ashley Rose, CEO of Living Security delivers a quite unique approach to the issue of human relations management. She suggests NHI be treated the same as actual humans with the same regulation and oversight.
In what seems to be a 180-degree turn from NHI is a look at the affect of quantum computing on encryption, or rather breaking encryption. Christina Cravens of Redjack and David Close of Futurex sound the conventional-wisdom alarm about the approaching Q-Day apocalypse.
However, we remain cautiously sanguine about the danger of quantum decryption. No country has the budget to build a quantum computer that can break an encryption of a single document inside eight hours. Quantum computing holds a great deal of promise in research and business. As long as people are manipulated into giving away encryption keys, no one needs a computer that big.
Let's dive right into it: the CPM summer issue.
