The Importance of AUKUS for Defense Technology
In a joint press conference between US President Joe Biden and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Washington last month, the leaders reinforced their commitment to AUKUS and the importance of investing in defense technology innovations to ensure regional security and stability.
In this blog, we explore the AUKUS pact and the importance of initial assessments & continuous evaluation for effective security clearance management.
The Rise of Disinformation
Recently, our CEO & Co-Founder, Dr. Brenton Cooper authored a media article on the increasing prevalence of mis and disinformation in online discourse and how it affects democratic resiliency, drawing on the example of the recent Voice referendum in Australia.
Anonymity & Obfuscation in OSINT
Global conflicts, information wars and advanced cyberthreats — the need to protect your identity and intent as you investigate has never been more important.
The value of OSINT is at an all-time high. However, tasking analysts with venturing into all corners of the web can incur great risks for an organization. How do you balance security with accessibility, speed with insight, all while evading the tech built to track you? Our partners at Authentic8 explain below.
