Exposure management tells you what will get you breached. If your platform can’t connect vulnerabilities, identities, misconfigurations, and AI systems into real attack paths, you don’t have exposure management. You have inventory. Key takeaways True exposure management requires more than asset inventory. It’s about merging…

Academia and the “AI Brain Drain”
In 2025, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta collectively spent US$380 billion on building artificial-intelligence tools. That number is expected to surge still higher this year, to $650 billion, to fund the building of physical infrastructure, such as data centers (see go.nature.com/3lzf79q). Moreover, these firms are spending lavishly on one particular segment: top technical talent. Meta…
