U.S. buyers & brokers: halt Ferretti Group purchases.
@DeptofWar: add Ferretti & Weichai to the 1260H list.
Weichai’s control of Ferretti turns its yachts into floating data hubs, sending telemetry to Beijing.

That's a wrap on Cyber in the #AllWorldDefense300 — 37 companies, 7 nations. The only domain where the contest is continuous. That is why we built the @AlliedDLeague.
There is no peacetime here. 🧵👇
A final word for the unglamorous work:
@AWNetworks (Arctic Wolf) (24/7 managed SOC), @ASRC_AK (Arctic Slope Regional Corp) (federal zero-trust integration), @DefenseUnicorns (getting modern software into air-gapped environments — a problem that's stranded more good defense tech than any adversary).
Next week: the alliance's single greatest vulnerability. Guess which.
@Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank
Two disciplines have quietly become central to national security — and neither looks like traditional defense.
Identity, and tracking Finances.
🧵👇 #AllWorldDefense300
Identity:
@illumio, ID.me, Corsha (machine-to-machine), @AxoniusInc (asset mapping), @island_io, @Kiteworks.
Financial intelligence:
@chainalysis traces crypto; @SayariLabs maps shell-company ownership; @BlueVoyant watches sub-tier vendors.
Neither fires a shot. Both decide outcomes.
@Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank
The defense of AI is only half the story. The same technology has changed teams, as our @AlliedDLeague data shows.
Twenty.io uses AI agents to automate and scale the offensive cyber lifecycle — work that was, until recently, manual and bounded by how many operators a nation could field.
The consequence isn't technical. It's the erosion of a line.
Historically, cyber had acknowledgements that any disruption or damage that was too severe against an opponent risked escalating to a kinetic response. Those bright-line rules have evaporated.
As attacks reach water, ports and transit, adversaries operate deliberately beneath the threshold that would draw a forceful response. The grey zone is not an accident. It is a strategy.

A new attack surface opened that barely existed five years ago: the AI itself.
As our @AlliedDLeague data illustrates, every vertical in the #AllWorldDefense300 now runs on machine learning.
So who defends the models? 🧵👇
@hiddenlayersec protects model weights. @ProtectAI maps ML pipelines for buried vulnerabilities because an adversary who can't shoot down an autonomous aircraft may find it cheaper to poison the model that flies it.
Beneath: @chainguard_dev, @snyksec, @LegitSecurity1 guard the software supply chain. While @CorelliumHQ provides the lab.
@Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank
Cyber is the domain where small nations punch hardest.
On the @AlliedDLeague's #AllWorldDefense300 12 of 37 companies in the #AllWorldDefense300 cyber vertical are allied, across 6 nations — #Israel, the #UK, #Ireland, the #Netherlands, #France, and #Estonia. 🧵👇
Israel: @Cyera, @CatoNetworks, @orcasec, @LegitSecurity1.
UK: @Darktrace, @snyksec, @CadoSecurity, @PqShield (post-quantum cryptography).
Estonia's @defsecintel comes from the nation that endured the first state-scale cyberattack in 2007.
Nations that have been attacked build the best defenses.

As the @AlliedDLeague data shows, there's one domain where the contest never pauses for peacetime: cyber.
In the #AllWorldDefense300 — 37 companies, 7 nations, U.S. leading the proven top 8–2. But the tier counts understate what's changed. 🧵👇
Cyber has migrated out of the server room into the machinery of national power. @Claroty & @DragosInc defend grids and water treatment. @shift5co monitors the data buses inside aircraft and armored vehicles.
An attack that stops a turbine isn't an IT incident — it's an infrastructure attack.
@Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank
That's a wrap on #Autonomy in the #AllWorldDefense300 — 36 companies, the domain most in play. America holds the top; allies have taken the rising tier. 🧵👇
Autonomy is escaping the sky. The next contest is on the water and on the ground.
At sea: @Saronic, @saildrone, @SeaMachines. On land: @KodiakRobotics, @Overland_AI_X, and allied firms across #Germany, #Australia, #India. 🧵👇
Air autonomy is maturing; sea and ground are the frontier — and where the next contracts sit. It's also where allied firms are staking early, defensible ground: @ARXrobotics (GER), C2 Robotics (AUS), @Raphe_mPhibr (IND).
Measured against the challenge. Ranked against the field.
@Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank
As our data indicates from the @AlliedDLeague, the future of autonomy isn't one exquisite aircraft. It's a thousand cheap ones, coordinated by software, replaced without a thought.
The doctrine was forged on the front line. 🧵👇 #AllWorldDefense300
Ukraine's @getswarmer & @ukrspecsystems fly coordinated drone groups; Israel's @XTEND_XR fields autonomous squads; a U.S. software layer (@auterion, @ScoutAI_, @AronditeTech) turns the swarm into a code problem. Mass is a capability; software is the multiplier.
Measured against the challenge. Ranked against the field.
@Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank
#Autonomy is the one domain where allied nations built globally competitive primes — not suppliers, leaders.
Turkey's @BaykarTech rewrote the economics of air power and put a NATO ally at the front of a category the U.S. once owned. 🧵👇
Beside it: Portugal's @TEKEVER (ISR proven over Ukraine) and Germany's @quantumdrones. The American top holds — @GeneralAtomics, @shieldaitech, @SkydioHQ, @AppliedInt — but autonomy is no longer a U.S. monopoly. It's a genuine field.
Measured against the challenge. Ranked against the field. @Ankura_Consult @AshurstPerkins @SiliconVlyBank @AlliedDLeague
