I recently read the Venture Security blog: 10 Commandments of Commercial Security.
Adi Shamir—one of the minds behind RSA encryption—shared 10 timeless principles for building secure systems. Nearly 30 years later, they remain just as relevant.

The New Hub for Spyware Startups?
Barcelona has become a major hub for cybercriminals due to its low cost compared to other tech hubs, and after the NSO scandal, Israeli hackers have also shifted their operations to the city, TechCrunch’s Cybersecurity Writer Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai said.

Aviation is no longer just about aircraft and pilots—it’s a complex cyber-physical system heavily reliant on digital infrastructure. I recently had a chance to take a look at the book "Aviation Cybersecurity: Foundations, Principles, and Applications".

82% of respondents lack confidence that IoT devices protect user privacy and data. WWF’s State of the Connected World 2023 Edition says transparency is key: tell users what data is collected, who gets it, and what it could mean.

Are we aware of Internet of Things (IoT) security?
I am playing around with IoT devices and recently found a great resource to build in my VirtualBox, AttifyOS. It is a distro for the penetration testing of IoT devices.

AI can process data, but it can’t fully understand context (for now). Humans can make complex social and emotional inferences by making intuitive decisions.
-A psychologist can sense a client’s trauma from nonverbal cues.
-A diplomat can read hidden threats from body language.

Something I saw recently about finding an idea for startup or a project:
1. What am I good at, better than others?
2. Help people with this thing.
3. Prove your solution works. Validate the idea.
4. Monetize it!
