TL;DR

• It’s been a busy week and I wasn’t able to really focus on a long article this week. That being said still sharing a few shorter thoughts or comments on what I read or found interesting this week:

  • Last week I covered the DASF v2 framework, one of the challenges with those frameworks is where to start as no matter what there is still quite a level of complexity to get started. I took a Quick Look at the mitigation listed and which one will give you the biggest impact » READ MORE

  • Microsoft announced Majorana 1, the first quantum processor using topological qubits, promising more stable and scalable quantum computing. While the breakthrough could accelerate quantum error correction and pose future cryptographic risks, experts caution it’s still early—claims of practical use remain unproven and scaling to millions of qubits is a massive challenge. CISOs should monitor developments but focus on long-term quantum resilience and post-quantum cryptography planning, rather than reacting to the hype. » READ MORE

  • Still on the topic of quantum, check out this article on the potential impact of Quantum Computing on Bitcoin.

• Apple has removed its Advanced Data Protection feature for iCloud in the United Kingdom following a secret government order demanding backdoor access to encrypted user data, sparking concerns about privacy rights and setting a precedent for global data security. » READ MORE

• I’m exploring Perplexity to get summary and context on key topics. Here is a page that I have curated in a few minutes about the hack of Bybit which is one of the biggest heist in the crypto industry…a whopping $1.5 billion was stolen! That being said it looks like Bybit handle the whole situation pretty well. Get the CEO to communicate, live stream with the CEO setup quickly, transparent information, etc. Impressive! and very much align with the fact that a company is not judged on the incident itself but on how they are handling it.

• I’m also still exploring some of the workflow tools like n8n to automate some of the work for this newsletter and other ideas…just not enough time in the week to be able to do everything 😅
