In the past, war meant aircraft carriers and tanks were fighting on a physical battlefield. Today’s weapons of war are a keystroke delivering damage in cyberspace. Trains are derailed, hospitals are held captive, water systems are poisoned, and power grids go dark – by the hands of laptop-based attackers. The distinction between a cyberattack and a real-world disaster is blurring as the digital systems that support daily life become more interconnected. “Midnight in the War Room,” a documentary from Semperis, examines that increasingly blurred line. Leaders in cybersecurity, journalists, and former hackers came together in this powerful trailer to make one point very clear: the next war won’t be fought on the battlefield. “The next war is not going to be on the ground,” says
Cyberattacks are no longer confined to stolen data or compromised computers. They can threaten the integrity of food supply chains, derail trains, interfere with drinking water, disrupt power grids, and put human lives at risk. The effects of a cyberattack are extending beyond the network and into the real world as the digital systems that support everyday life become more interconnected. “Midnight in the War Room,” Semperis’s latest documentary, centers on that evolution. In the trailer, cybersecurity experts and former government officials describe how dramatically the landscape has evolved. Adversaries are infiltrating critical infrastructure; nation-states are using cyber operations to advance strategic ambitions, and increasingly accessible hacking tools are lowering the barrier to entry. In the words of former CIA Director, General (Ret.) David Petraeus,
This article, which was first published on Government Technology Insider, discusses how the Five Eyes agency, which includes, CISA and NSA, have identified Active Directory as a prime target for cyberattacks across federal agencies, with identity-based compromise now being connected to the most significant federal breaches over the last five years. Additionally, it explores the reasons behind the vulnerability of hybrid AD and Entra ID environments as well as what the Five Eyes advisory recommends for federal agencies moving forward. Across federal agencies, the rules of cybersecurity have changed. The perimeter is no longer the network; it is identity. Despite years of investments in securing endpoints, cloud workloads, and infrastructure, cyber attackers continue to succeed by exploiting the one control plane that connects them all. In hybrid federal environments that combine cloud services and on-premises infrastructure, Active Directory (AD) is essential for authentication, authorization, and operational
Originally published on Government Technology Insider, this article discusses how U.S. government and defense agencies are rethinking their cybersecurity strategies moving toward a cyber resilience approach. Key initiatives include the Department of War’s enterprise-wide modernization efforts and the new CYBERCOM 2.0 program, which aims to strengthen the cyber workforce through advanced training and innovation centers. As cyber threats grow more complex and consequential, TechNet Cyber 2026 highlighted a shift in how U.S. civilian and defense agencies are approaching cybersecurity. In this news roundup, we explore three key stories from the event where leaders presented a bold modernization agenda centered on three pillars, going beyond prevention-focused strategies: resilience-first operations, enterprise-wide transformation, and a reinvigorated cyber workforce equipped for tomorrow’s threats. DoW CIO Prioritizes Cybersecurity Modernization Through Operational Reform The U.S. DoW Chief Information Officer, Kirsten Davies, is reshaping the department’s technology strategy with a focus on enterprise-wide modernization,
