Few technologies have moved from experimentation to boardroom mandate as quickly as AI. Across industries, leadership teams have embraced its broader potential, and boards, investors, and executives are already pushing organizations to adopt it across operational and security functions. Pentera’s AI Security and Exposure Report 2026 reflects that momentum: every CISO surveyed from The Hacker News https://thehackernews.com/2026/04/deterministic-agentic-ai-architecture.html

This article on the walls of Constantinople is fascinating. The system comprised four defensive lines arranged in formidable layers: The brick-lined ditch, divided by bulkheads and often flooded, 15­20 meters wide and up to 7 meters deep. A low breastwork, about 2 meters high, enabling defenders to fire freely from behind. The outer wall, 8 meters tall and 2.8 meters thick, with 82 projecting towers. The main wall—a towering 12 meters high and 5 meters thick—with 96 massive towers offset from those of the outer wall for maximum coverage. Behind the walls lay broad terraces: the parateichion, 18 meters wide, ideal for repelling enemies who crossed the moat, and the peribolos, 15–­20 meters wide between the inner and outer walls. From the moat’s bottom to the highest tower top, the defences reached nearly 30 meters—a nearly unscalable barrier of stone and ingenuity. from Schneier on Security https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/04/defense-in-depth-medieval-style.html...
