Quantum Contrarianism
Contrarianism in quantum tech, as in any tech, is best viewed as a tool, not a truth. It’s a tool for questioning and refining the narrative, for ensuring we don’t delude ourselves. But it is not the final truth of what the technology will or will not achieve – that truth will be revealed only through continued research, engineering, and yes, a bit of imagination.…

Career Opportunities in Quantum Technologies (No PhD Required)
The landscape of careers in quantum technologies is incredibly rich and expanding by the day. What was once the domain of a few theoretical physicists is now a broad industry ecosystem hungry for talent from all backgrounds: software, hardware, analytics, management, and more. The driving premise is that you do not need to be an elite quantum physicist to contribute. The opportunities are as varied…

Quantum Commercialization
From Lab Breakthroughs to Quantum Boom: Why the Time to Commercialize is Now
The current stage of development in quantum isn’t about figuring out if the technology works – it’s about making it work reliably, at scale, and for a purpose. That requires an all-hands-on-deck approach. Universities and research institutes must continue to push the frontiers of knowledge. Tech transfer offices should be empowered with more resources and flexibility to nurture quantum projects for the long haul. And…

The Board’s Evolving Cybersecurity Mandate: From Oversight to Accountability
Cybersecurity has swiftly moved from an IT issue to a core boardroom concern. Regulators around the world are increasingly holding boards of directors directly responsible for overseeing cyber risk - and even personally accountable when things go wrong. As someone who has served as an interim CISO and as a board member, I’ve witnessed this shift firsthand.

AI Security
Marin’s Statement on AI Risks
The rapid development of AI brings both extraordinary potential and unprecedented risks. AI systems are increasingly demonstrating emergent behaviors, and in some cases, are even capable of self-improvement. This advancement, while remarkable, raises critical questions about our ability to control and understand these systems fully.

Why We Seriously Need a Chief AI Security Officer (CAISO)
With AI’s breakneck expansion, the distinctions between ‘cybersecurity’ and ‘AI security’ are becoming increasingly pronounced. While both disciplines aim to safeguard digital assets, their focus and the challenges they address diverge in significant ways. Traditional cybersecurity is primarily about defending digital infrastructures from external threats, breaches, and unauthorized access. On the other hand, AI security has to address unique challenges posed by artificial intelligence systems,…

The Future of Consulting in the Age of AI
For the Big 4, this moment represents not just a challenge but an existential threat. Their traditional models, deeply rooted in hierarchical structures and slow-moving and risk-averse processes, leave them especially vulnerable to the pace of AI-driven change. If these firms cannot embrace AI and adapt quickly enough to meet the demands of a flipped industry—redefining their value proposition, overhauling their delivery models, and rethinking…

Dos & Don’ts of Crypto Inventories for Quantum Readiness
Relying on asset owners, developers or IT personnel to identify and report in interviews or survey responses every instance of cryptographic usage is not just impractical; it simply does not work...
