As drone warfare reshapes global conflict, the U.S. industrial base is falling behind—exposing tactical gaps, supply risks, and strategic vulnerabilities that demand urgent investment and policy response.

Explore why space capabilities are essential to U.S. national strategy and critical infrastructure in this SC Media perspective. Learn how satellite systems, space policy, and commercial innovation underpin communications, defense, navigation, and resilience in an era of growing geopolitical competition.

Explore how the U.S. can maintain competitive advantage in advanced technology against China by strengthening the “electric tech stack” that underpins defense, infrastructure, and innovation. This insight from SC Media highlights why semiconductor supply chains, critical materials, industrial policy, and cross-sector collaboration are essential to national security and economic resilience.

Discover how West Virginia is advancing cyber resilience nationwide. From WVU Cyber’s community-focused programs to strategic partnerships that protect critical systems, this post highlights innovation, workforce development, and infrastructure security for the digital future.

Uncovers the hidden cybersecurity risks posed by foreign-owned and operated technologies in U.S. ports—and why modernizing maritime security is now a national imperative.

In this SC Media perspectives piece, Dr. Darren Death, ICIT Fellow shares his perspective to use RMF as it was intended, as an engineering framework that links security requirements to system behavior and verifies those relationships continuously. The framework already defines a complete model for continuous authorization. It must be executed as part of engineering and operations rather than as a separate compliance process.

In a recent conversation hosted by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT), Cory Simpson, CEO of ICIT, welcomed Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout Technologies, to discuss the pressing need to modernize and secure the nation’s critical infrastructure.

The “quantum-age” refers to a near-future moment when quantum computers begin to reshape fields, from drug discovery and logistics to national defense and cryptography. Unlike classical computers, which solve problems step by step—like trying every key on a lock one at a time—quantum systems can evaluate many possibilities simultaneously.
