AI is finding vulnerabilities faster than enterprises can fix them.
Bank of America brought in 1,000 additional contractors to help address software flaws.
What happens when AI-driven discovery outpaces engineering capacity?
The next big opportunity isn't just finding problems. It's fixing them.

A month or two ago, I heard @George_Kurtz discuss North Korean operatives securing legitimate remote IT jobs inside U.S. companies.
Now the FBI has disrupted a related operation.
The threat isn't always someone breaking into your network.
Sometimes they're already on the payroll.

FireMon reports 45% of firewall rules lack an owner or documentation.
In finance, we'd demand an explanation. In IT, we often carry them into the next platform.
A migration should be a chance to challenge that technical debt—not just translate it.

The FBI and Secret Service warn that FortiBleed attackers may lock organizations out of their own firewalls.
Securing enterprise infrastructure is challenging enough. Add years of legacy configurations and technical debt, and the complexity compounds.

AI isn't waiting for enterprise governance to catch up.
Gartner: Agentic AI investment is expected to grow 31.8%, while only 20% of CEOs say they're highly ready for AI industrialization.
We don't need to slow AI down.
We need to get much better at proving its work.
Speed + verification = trust.

Cybersecurity’s modernization paradox: threats are accelerating, but the infrastructure changes needed to respond are still too manual.
The question isn’t just “Are we secure?” It’s “How fast can we safely change?”
Modernization should reduce risk—not introduce it.

From full-motion simulation to full-motion reality. 🏁
Collin’s passion for racing led him to become part of the team building Driven Dynamix and pushing what’s possible with full-motion simulation.
Now comes a very different kind of motion:
The 2026 Baja 1000. Nearly 1,000 miles through the desert.
As his dad, this one is going to be pretty damn fun to watch.
Let’s go, Collin. 🔥🏁 @CollinRobb7

5 AM. Already moving.
Woke up catching up on AI, cybersecurity and everything changing overnight.
Opened LinkedIn to a 4:30 AM message:
“Would love to talk about two of my favorite things — racing and cybersecurity.”
🏎️ Now you’ve got my attention.
The threats aren’t slowing down.
Technology isn’t slowing down.
The world is speeding up.
So I might as well get moving too.
Workout. New Dot. Then back to building @NetConverterAI. 🚀
Another night. Another @Xfinity outage.
I pay a significant amount every month for Xfinity TV + Internet at two homes, and over the past year the reliability has become increasingly difficult to justify.
Tonight: TV, Internet and Voice unavailable again.
At some point you have to ask: Why am I still paying premium prices for service I can’t depend on?
I’m seriously considering moving both homes to @Starlink — or another alternative. If I can improve reliability AND substantially reduce what I’m spending, this decision starts getting pretty easy.
@XfinitySupport @Xfinity — I’d genuinely like to hear why I should stay.

I’m looking for the problem child.
I used to tell our technology partners this when I was building my last company:
Don’t bring me the customer where everything is working perfectly. Bring me the difficult problem.
I’m thinking the same way about NetConverter.ai.
Budget cut, but infrastructure still needs modernizing?
More migrations than engineers?
A project that no longer makes economic sense the traditional way?
Bring us that one.
AI and automation should do more than make old processes faster. They should change the economics.
Spend less. Do more. Reduce risk.
Got a “problem child” migration? I’d like to hear about it.

Yesterday at Moonshots LIVE in LA, one conversation stayed with me: @CathieDWood and @wintonARK of @ARKInvest.
Their thesis goes far beyond AI.
What happens when AI, robotics, energy storage, biotech and blockchain converge — and the productivity gains begin flowing through the entire economy?
Cathie just published a fascinating paper making the economic case. I’m digging into it on my flight home.
What if this isn’t simply another technology cycle?
What if we’re entering one of the most expansive periods of economic and human possibility in more than a century?
After a day at Moonshots LIVE, that’s a question worth spending some time with.
Cathie’s paper ↓
Posting this from 35,000 feet using @Starlink after an incredible day at Moonshots LIVE.
Yesterday, riding a Waymo from LAX — sorry @elonmusk, no Cybercabs in LA yet 😉 — autonomous driving gave me something unexpected: time to actually LOOK at the city.
It sparked an idea.
Cities everywhere need cleanup. What if one of the great public demonstrations of Optimus was simple:
Send 100 Optimus robots into a city for a week. Free.
Pick up trash. Clean public spaces. Make the community visibly better.
Let people see what robotics can ADD to society.
Starlink in the sky. Autonomous cars on the streets. Robots helping our communities.
That’s the future I want to see us build.

Your firewall vendor’s latest AI defense may require software your hardware can’t run.
Check the model, release and license—not just the announcement.
When replacement is needed, NetConverter.ai helps convert configs and validate policy behavior.

Proud to see NetConverter.ai become a signatory to OpenAI’s call for collective action on cyber defense.
Legacy systems, misconfigurations and technical debt are holding back security modernization. That’s exactly the problem we’re working to help solve.
Cyber defense can’t modernize faster than the infrastructure underneath it.
Don’t just migrate it. Prove it.
