As someone who has worked in cybersecurity for decades, it's remarkable to see how security concerns are finally permeating everyday life. We could always predict that the explosion of connected devices would dramatically expand the threat model, but witnessing it unfold in society is something else entirely.

This extends beyond just technology: it's now embedded in politics, conflicts, and nearly every aspect of life.

It's also important to note that it's not just the sheer number of devices challenging cybersecurity, but the dynamic nature of cloud security. For instance, Apple's recent innovations around hybrid AI computation highlight how cloud security is evolving alongside technological advancements.

Unfortunately, I’m not convinced the dialog is connected to actual improvements - this project is somewhat of a perfect example.

I remember the boom of “privacy first” products that launched after the Snowden leaks, but they were all money grabs by folks who probably moved on to blockchain later and now AI.

I agree it’s wild how much of a common topic it is. I do miss the days when it was smart curious folks tinkering around.. but so goes every young field.
