Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 21 Luglio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Energia, petrolio, inflazione e rischi geopoliticiTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Fatto Quotidiano / LiberoIl conflitto mediorientale sta trasformando l'energia in una vera e propria tassa geopolitica per famiglie e imprese. Le tensioni nello Stretto di Hormuz e nel Mar Rosso incidono non soltanto sul prezzo del petrolio, ma anche sui costi di trasporto, sulle assicurazioni e sulla sicurezza delle rotte commerciali internazionali.Negli Stati Uniti, il rincaro dell'energia si somma all'effetto dei dazi, alimentando una “tassa sull'incertezza” che rischia di combinare inflazione e rallentamento economico. I mercati valutano la possibilità di un petrolio vicino ai 100 dollari al barile, mentre gli scenari più estremi ipotizzano quotazioni fino a 200 dollari, con conseguenze fortemente recessive.In Italia il gasolio raggiunge circa 2,09 euro al litro sulla rete ordinaria, dopo un aumento di quasi 20 centesimi in due settimane. La benzina si attesta intorno a 1,96 euro, mentre in autostrada si registrano punte superiori a 2,30 euro. Il rincaro pesa soprattutto su pendolari, autotrasporto e imprese con filiere logistiche ad alta intensità energetica.Industria italiana, energia e competitivitàTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / Il FoglioL'industria italiana chiede una strategia energetica europea più stabile e prevedibile. Il costo dell'energia continua infatti a rappresentare uno dei principali svantaggi competitivi rispetto a Stati Uniti e Asia, penalizzando soprattutto le imprese manifatturiere e i settori energivori.La Commissione europea autorizza maggiori compensazioni per le imprese italiane esposte ai costi indiretti dell'ETS. La misura riguarda comparti come acciaio, carta, chimica, vetro e ceramica e punta a ridurre il rischio di delocalizzazione verso Paesi con standard ambientali meno stringenti.La proposta italiana di separare il prezzo della CO₂ dalle componenti più speculative del mercato delle emissioni mira a mantenere gli incentivi alla decarbonizzazione senza trasferire eccessiva volatilità sui costi industriali. Il Piano Draghi resta inoltre il principale riferimento per una politica europea fondata su investimenti comuni, mercato unico dei capitali e infrastrutture strategiche.Attrattività dell'Italia e investimenti esteriTestate: Il Sole 24 OreL'Italia recupera tre posizioni nella classifica europea dell'attrattività degli investimenti, raggiungendo il nono posto. Nel 2025 sono stati annunciati 206 progetti di investimento diretto estero, quasi il doppio rispetto ai 108 registrati nel 2019.Il Paese intercetta il 4,1% dei progetti europei, una quota ancora inferiore al proprio peso economico ma in progressivo miglioramento. Il 56% degli investitori intervistati prevede un aumento dell'attrattività italiana nei prossimi tre anni, mentre il 48% intende consolidare o ampliare la propria presenza.Gli Stati Uniti restano il principale investitore, seguiti da Germania, Regno Unito, Francia e Svizzera. Cresce inoltre il contributo asiatico, mentre i progetti dedicati ai data center quadruplicano, passando da 2 a 8. I principali ostacoli restano costo dell'energia, complessità fiscale, instabilità normativa e lentezza delle autorizzazioni.Piano casa, patrimonio immobiliare e affitti breviTestate: Il Sole 24 OreIl nuovo Piano casa punta alla realizzazione e al recupero di 100.000 abitazioni in dieci anni, con un fabbisogno stimato di circa 10 miliardi di euro. Il progetto si fonda su edilizia pubblica, housing sociale e partecipazione degli investitori privati.Una parte rilevante dell'intervento riguarderà il recupero di circa 61.300 abitazioni popolari, affiancato dalla costruzione di nuovi alloggi destinati a giovani lavoratori, famiglie, studenti e fasce medie escluse dal mercato immobiliare delle grandi città.Fondi pensione, assicurazioni e fondi immobiliari potrebbero partecipare a operazioni con rendimenti moderati ma stabili. Sugli affitti brevi, invece, aumenta il rischio regolatorio: fiscalità, imposte di soggiorno e possibilità di utilizzo degli immobili dipenderanno sempre più dalle decisioni dei singoli Comuni.PNRR, digitalizzazione e Intelligenza ArtificialeTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Italia Oggi / Milano FinanzaIl 75% delle amministrazioni pubbliche ha completato o avviato la migrazione al cloud, raggiungendo uno degli obiettivi centrali del PNRR per la trasformazione digitale della Pubblica Amministrazione.Circa 135.000 servizi pubblici sono stati interessati da interventi digitali, attraverso piattaforme nazionali, sistemi cloud e strumenti di cybersicurezza. La fase successiva dovrà concentrarsi sulla qualità effettiva dei servizi, sull'interoperabilità e sulla formazione del personale.Il mercato globale dell'Intelligenza Artificiale potrebbe raggiungere un valore di 20.000 miliardi di dollari. Il rendimento economico non dipenderà però soltanto dai produttori dei modelli, ma soprattutto dalle imprese capaci di integrare l'AI nei processi produttivi, commerciali e amministrativi.Banche, AI e gestione dei rischi tecnologiciTestate: Milano Finanza / Il Sole 24 OreBankitalia richiama gli istituti di credito sui rischi operativi e reputazionali legati all'utilizzo dell'Intelligenza Artificiale e di sistemi esterni. Le banche dovranno predisporre relazioni specifiche, inventari degli algoritmi e sistemi di controllo dei dati e dei fornitori.Gli istituti di minori dimensioni risultano maggiormente esposti, poiché dispongono di risorse tecniche e organizzative più limitate. La Vigilanza chiede quindi governance chiara, tracciabilità delle decisioni automatizzate e possibilità di ricostruire il funzionamento dei modelli.Una regolazione preventiva può favorire un'adozione più ordinata dell'AI nel sistema finanziario, evitando che il vantaggio tecnologico si trasformi in un rischio sistemico.Cybersecurity, sanità e resilienza operativaTestate: Italia Oggi / Il Sole 24 Ore – Salute 24Nel primo trimestre gli attacchi informatici in Italia aumentano del 35%, mentre il Paese continua a concentrare una quota di incidenti superiore al proprio peso economico.Sanità e Pubblica Amministrazione rappresentano gli obiettivi più sensibili. Gli attacchi possono bloccare sistemi clinici, esporre dati personali e interrompere servizi essenziali, generando danni economici, reputazionali e legali.Per imprese e istituzioni la cybersecurity deve essere considerata un rischio industriale. Le priorità diventano continuità operativa, controllo della supply chain, formazione del personale, coperture assicurative e procedure di risposta agli incidenti.Regole, finanza e sistema bancarioTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Foglio / RepubblicaNel 2025 sono state notificate 1.081 operazioni al Golden Power, il livello più elevato mai registrato. Le notifiche crescono del 37% rispetto al 2024 e risultano quasi triplicate rispetto al 2020.Il Governo ha esercitato i poteri speciali in 46 casi, pari a circa il 5% del totale. Il ricorso ai veti resta quindi limitato, mentre lo strumento viene utilizzato soprattutto per imporre condizioni e proteggere tecnologie, infrastrutture e filiere strategiche.L'Italia punta inoltre alla presidenza dell'ESMA con Carlo Comporti, una nomina che potrebbe aumentare il peso italiano nella costruzione dell'Unione dei mercati dei capitali e nella definizione delle regole europee sulla finanza digitale e sostenibile.Russia, mercati finanziari e rischio defaultTestate: Avvenire / Corriere della Sera / La StampaLa Borsa di Mosca è esposta a un crescente rischio di insolvenze societarie. Tassi elevati, difficoltà di rifinanziamento, restrizioni internazionali e minore redditività stanno comprimendo i bilanci delle imprese russe.Il rischio finanziario si intreccia con la dipendenza dalle esportazioni energetiche. Una diminuzione delle vendite o un aumento dei costi logistici potrebbe ridurre le entrate fiscali proprio mentre le spese militari continuano a crescere.La Russia dispone ancora di controlli sui capitali, entrate da esportazioni e capacità di indirizzare credito e liquidità. Questi strumenti possono evitare un collasso immediato, ma trasferiscono il costo della crisi su famiglie, imprese private e sistema bancario.

  What Does This Week’s Market Volatility Mean for Your Retirement Portfolio? By Tom Dupree, Founder, Dupree Financial Group Inflation cooled. The big banks beat expectations. And somehow, it was still a wild week in the market. If you’ve been watching your account balance bounce around and wondering whether any of it has anything to do with the actual value of what you own, here’s the short answer: usually not. Most of what moved the market this week wasn’t new information about businesses — it was leverage, technical trading, and forced selling. That distinction matters more for your retirement than almost anything else you’ll read this month, because it tells you when to act and when to simply hold on. This week’s episode of The Tom Dupree Show walked through four separate stories — cooling inflation, strong bank earnings, a leveraged-ETF blowup on the other side of the world, and a regulatory fight over how often companies should report earnings — that all point to the same lesson: know what you own, know why the price is moving, and don’t confuse someone else’s forced selling with your own emergency. Key Takeaways Inflation cooled to 3.5% year-over-year in June, but the Fed’s new chair has questioned whether the 2% target is even the right one — the ground rules for bonds and rate-sensitive investments could shift. Bank profits this quarter came mostly from paying less on deposits, not from a borrowing boom — a reminder that cash flow, not headlines, tells the real story. A leveraged single-stock ETF collapse in South Korea forced hundreds of thousands of retail accounts into liquidation — a case study in what daily-compounding leverage does to a portfolio. Semiconductor stocks have swung hard on technical signals, not fundamentals — which can create real opportunity for patient, long-term owners. A federal proposal to let companies report earnings twice a year instead of four times has reignited a real debate about transparency versus short-termism. Why Does the Market Feel So Unpredictable Right Now? If you’re 55, 65, or 75 and watching a retirement account that’s supposed to fund the next 30 or 40 years of your life, a week like this one is unsettling. The headlines contradict each other: inflation is cooling, but chip stocks are getting hammered one day and ripping higher the next. Banks are thriving, but somewhere on the other side of the world, hundreds of thousands of retail investors just lost their entire trading accounts overnight. It’s a lot to hold at once, and it’s reasonable to wonder whether any of it should change what you do with your own money. Here’s the honest answer: for most retirees holding a diversified, income-producing portfolio, almost none of it should. But understanding why requires pulling apart what actually happened this week — and separating the noise from the signal. What Actually Happened This Week — The Data Start with the good news. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that headline inflation cooled to 3.5% year-over-year in June, with core inflation (which strips out food and energy) coming in at 2.6% — both below what economists expected, and producer prices actually declined for the month. That’s a meaningfully better inflation picture than markets were braced for. But the Fed’s target isn’t necessarily fixed anymore. Kevin Warsh, who was sworn in as Federal Reserve chairman this spring, has openly questioned the assumptions behind the central bank’s longstanding 2% inflation goal and launched a broader review of how the Fed operates. For retirees who own bonds or rate-sensitive income investments, that’s not a footnote — it’s a reason to pay attention to what “the target” even means over the next few years, rather than assuming the old rules still apply. Meanwhile, bank earnings came in strong — but not for the reason most people assume. The lift came primarily from banks paying less to fund themselves (short-term deposit rates have fallen faster than the loans on their books have repriced), not from a fresh wave of borrowing. It’s a good environment for financial stocks, but it’s a funding-cost story more than a booming-economy story, and that distinction matters if you’re trying to judge whether the rally has legs. Then there’s the semiconductor sector, which has been the market’s most volatile corner. Taiwan Semiconductor, the company that manufactures the vast majority of the world’s advanced AI chips, reported June revenue up nearly 68% year-over-year, a genuinely extraordinary number driven by AI infrastructure demand. And yet chip stocks broadly have been whipping up and down for reasons that have very little to do with numbers like that one. A lot of that action is technical: when a stock breaks below a widely watched moving average, institutional trading algorithms are programmed to sell, regardless of what the underlying business is doing. That selling then triggers more selling. It looks like panic. It’s often just mechanics. The starkest illustration of what leverage does in a downturn came out of South Korea this month, where a wave of new single-stock leveraged ETFs tied to semiconductor giants Samsung and SK Hynix triggered margin calls on more than 1.2 million retail trading accounts, with roughly 320,000 to 360,000 of those accounts fully liquidated in a matter of days. These products were designed to move twice the daily price swing of a single stock — which sounds appealing on the way up and is devastating on the way down, because the losses compound daily rather than tracking the stock’s actual return over time. It’s an ocean away from Lexington, Kentucky, but the lesson travels: leverage doesn’t just add risk, it changes the math entirely. Finally, there’s a quieter but genuinely important story developing in Washington. The SEC has proposed letting public companies choose to report earnings twice a year instead of four times, a change championed by President Trump and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins as a way to reduce short-term pressure on management teams. The idea splits reasonable people: less frequent reporting could free executives to run their businesses for the next several years instead of the next ninety days, but it could also mean investors — including retirees who depend on knowing exactly what they own — get less information, less often. This week’s news cycle also included a primetime presidential address in which Trump alleged that newly declassified intelligence showed foreign interference — including from China — in the 2020 election, along with claims of voter registration fraud in Michigan. Election security officials, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, have said they’ve found no evidence that any votes were altered in past elections. Whatever your read on the speech, it fed into a broader theme running through the whole hour: how much can you trust the numbers an institution hands you, whether that’s a vote count or a government inflation report? It’s why we do our own research instead of relying solely on government statistics or Wall Street’s sell-side analysts, and it’s the same instinct that should guide how you evaluate any claim, official or otherwise. The Reframe: Manufactured Volatility vs. Real Risk Here’s the framework we come back to on nearly every episode of the show, and it’s the one thing we want you to take from this week’s news: there is a real difference between manufactured volatility and real risk, and confusing the two is one of the most expensive mistakes a retiree can make. Manufactured volatility is what happens when a stock’s price swings because of leverage unwinding, algorithmic trading around technical levels, or funds racing to exit ahead of a quarterly number — not because the underlying business got worse. The Korean ETF collapse is manufactured volatility in its purest form: a Samsung or SK Hynix shareholder holding actual shares, with no leverage, watched the same news and the same earnings power, just without the forced-selling spiral. Real risk is different. Real risk is a company losing its competitive position, cutting its dividend, or piling on debt it can’t service. Real risk should change what you own. Manufactured volatility, more often than not, should not. The trouble is that from the outside, both look identical on a stock chart. A share price falling 10% doesn’t come labeled “manufactured” or “real.” Telling the difference requires actually knowing the business you own — its cash flow, its dividend history, its balance sheet — well enough to judge whether this week’s headline changed anything about that story. That’s the diligence part of the job, and there’s no shortcut around it. How Should Retirement Investors Respond to This Kind of Volatility? At Dupree Financial Group, this is exactly why our approach centers on dividend-paying stocks and bonds rather than chasing whatever sector is moving fastest. When you own a company for the income it generates — not for a price target — a week of manufactured volatility becomes far less threatening, and sometimes it becomes an opportunity. When institutions are forced to sell a good company for reasons that have nothing to do with its fundamentals, the price drop that scares one investor is simply a better entry point for another. That’s not a guarantee of a favorable outcome — all investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal — but it’s a fundamentally different posture than reacting to every headline. Seven Steps to Retirement-Proof Your Portfolio Against Manufactured Volatility Know what you own, line by line. Pull up your statement and be able to explain, in one sentence each, why you own every major holding. If you can’t, that’s the first thing to fix — not the market. Separate the headline from the business. Before reacting to a price move, ask whether anything actually changed about the company’s earnings, dividend, or balance sheet — or whether it’s a technical or leverage-driven move like the ones described above. Keep leveraged and single-stock ETFs out of retirement money entirely. These products are built for daily traders, not long-term holders. The Korean ETF collapse is a real-world example of what daily compounding leverage can do to an account in a matter of days. Read past the quarterly headline number. Whether or not the reporting-frequency rules change, judge a company on multi-year cash flow and dividend trends, not a single quarter’s beat or miss. Keep a watchlist of quality companies for when panic creates a discount. When forced selling knocks a good business down for reasons unrelated to its fundamentals, that’s the moment long-term investors get paid for their patience. Revisit your income plan, not just your account balance. A retirement portfolio’s job is to produce cash flow you can live on for 30 to 40 years. Judge a volatile week by whether your income stream held up — not by the number on the login screen. Get a second set of eyes on your portfolio. If you’re not sure whether what you own is built to withstand this kind of volatility, or whether you’re carrying more leverage or concentration risk than you realize, that’s exactly what a portfolio review is for. Frequently Asked Questions Is a leveraged ETF a good way to boost my retirement returns? No. Leveraged ETFs reset and compound daily, so their long-term return can diverge sharply from the underlying stock’s actual performance — including large losses even when the stock has technically risen over time. They’re built for short-term traders, not retirement accounts. Does cooling inflation mean the Fed will cut interest rates soon? Not necessarily. While June’s cooler CPI reading supports the case for rate cuts, the Fed’s new chairman has signaled openness to rethinking the central bank’s approach to its inflation target, adding real uncertainty to the timeline for any rate decisions. Why do stock prices swing so much when a company’s earnings didn’t change? Much of the day-to-day movement in popular stocks comes from technical trading, algorithmic strategies tied to chart levels, and leveraged funds being forced to buy or sell — not from new information about the business itself. That’s manufactured volatility, not real risk. What does the debate over quarterly earnings reports mean for individual investors? If the SEC’s proposal is adopted, some companies may report financial results only twice a year instead of four times. That could reduce short-term pressure on management, but it may also mean investors get less frequent, less detailed information about what they actually own. How do I know if my retirement portfolio is built to handle volatility? Start by confirming you can explain why you own every major holding and that none of your retirement money sits in leveraged or single-stock products. A complimentary portfolio review with a fee-only fiduciary advisor is the fastest way to get an honest, unbiased answer. The Bottom Line Weeks like this one will keep happening. Leverage will keep building up somewhere and unwinding somewhere else. Traders will keep reacting to chart levels instead of cash flow. What won’t change is the difference between a business that’s actually worth less than it was last week and a stock price that simply got caught in someone else’s forced selling. Learn to tell those two things apart, build your income around companies you understand, and a volatile week stops being a threat to your retirement — it starts being background noise, or even opportunity. Schedule a Complimentary Portfolio Review If you’re not sure whether your portfolio is built to take advantage of volatility like we saw this week — instead of getting knocked around by it — we’ll take a look. No charge. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about what you own and whether it’s working for you.

Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity on both sides of the battle. While defenders are adopting AI to improve detection and response, attackers are using it to discover vulnerabilities, automate exploitation, and dramatically accelerate the pace of attacks. In this episode of Cybersecurity Today On The Weekend, host David Shipley speaks with Lionel Liddy, Chief Information Security Officer at Menlo Security, about why today's security strategies must evolve as AI reshapes the threat landscape. The conversation explores how AI is speeding up vulnerability discovery, why browser security has become a critical layer of defence, the emerging risks of AI agents operating inside browsers, and why recent NIST research suggests perfect AI guardrails may be mathematically impossible. Lionel also explains why organizations should prepare for future attacks that could spread even faster than Log4j. In this episode: How AI is accelerating cyberattacks Why browser isolation can reduce risk The security challenges created by AI agents Prompt injection and browser extension threats Why AI guardrails have fundamental limits Lessons from Log4j and preparing for the next major exploit Practical advice for CISOs and security leaders Chapters 00:00 Sponsor – NordLayer 00:39 Weekend Show Intro 01:48 Lionel Liddy Background 04:44 What Menlo Security Does 06:43 AI Speeds Up Exploits 10:09 CISO Whiplash With AI 12:01 Agents And Browser Risks 15:59 Guardrails And NIST Proof 19:40 Mythos Hype And New Normal 23:19 Hazmat Suit For Servers 27:22 Log4j Times Four Scenario 31:44 Wrap Up And Links 32:54 Sponsor – NordLayer Outro Subscribe for weekly cybersecurity news, expert interviews, and practical insights for CISOs, IT professionals, and security leaders.

Crogl calls it a Knowledge Engine for Security Operations, and the idea is simple: analysts are drowning in alerts, and cutting corners isn't the fix. Every alert deserves a real look. So Crogl built an AI that works alongside the analyst, not instead of them, an assistant one investor called an "Iron Man suit" for security researchers. The goal isn't to replace the team. It's to make every single analyst as effective as the whole team combined. Monzy Merza, Co-founder and CEO of Crogl, joins us today on BarCode to talk community, what's coming at Black Hat, and why the best defense in cybersecurity might just be showing up and sharing what you know.SYMLINKS[Crogl] - https://crogl.com An AI-powered security operations platform that helps security teams investigate alerts, perform threat hunting, and automate cybersecurity workflows while keeping customer data within their own environment.[Monzy Mirza – LinkedIn] - https://www.linkedin.com/in/monzymerza/ The official LinkedIn profile of Monzy Mirza, Co-founder and CEO of Crogl, where he shares insights on AI, cybersecurity, and security operations.[MITRE ATT&CK® Framework] - https://attack.mitre.org/ A globally recognized cybersecurity knowledge base maintained by MITRE that documents adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

A jam-packed Friday on The Marc Cox Morning Show tackled election integrity from every angle, starting with President Trump's heavily redacted document release revealing 278,000-plus non-citizen voter registrations, hacked state election systems, and a buried Michigan voter fraud scheme, all while ABC, NBC, and CBS refused to air the speech. Cybersecurity expert Mark Cook demonstrated live how easily voting machines can be manipulated, fueling the show's push for Amendment 4 reform and the Save America Act, backed by Congressman Bob Onder's on-air breakdown of the bill's path through reconciliation. Jim Carafano weighed in on escalating Iran strikes and confirmed foreign hacking threats to U.S. elections, while local news covered Cori Bush's questionable campaign payments, a new County police chief's public safety priorities, and Senator Josh Hawley's fight over mail delays. Two women, Nicole Murray on business and Trisha Burns on the Senate campaign trail, delivered standout moments, with Burns exposing a fabricated smear tied to her real work fixing the broken 988 crisis line. Pat Burns highlighted the youth sports officiating shortage, and the show closed with the Guns and Hoses Queen of Hearts raffle and family birthday celebrations. Faith, family, freedom, and election integrity, that was the heartbeat of the show heading into the August 4th Missouri primary.

AI is giving cybercriminals capabilities once reserved for elite hackers and powerful nation-states. Cybersecurity expert Nicole Perlroth joins Kara to explain why she fears we're inching closer to an “everything, everywhere, all at once” wave of cyberattacks. Perlroth reveals what she learned in reporting the latest season of her podcast, "To Catch a Thief: North Korea on Our Payroll," a deep dive into North Korean operatives who use stolen identities and American “laptop farms” to land remote jobs at major U.S. companies and funnel money back to the regime and its nuclear weapons program. She also examines China's growing cyber capabilities, threats to critical infrastructure and what Anthropic's Mythos model means for cybersecurity. Plus: how the Trump administration's dismantling of cybersecurity and election-security programs could leave the U.S. vulnerable ahead of the midterms. Questions? Comments?

A lot of people are talking about how AI is changing the landscape of professional services, but there's one really important consideration that often gets overlooked — cyber threats. As CEO of Ridgeback Network Defense Inc., today's guest, Scott Fogarty, helps organisations defend against cyber attacks. We begin by unpacking the importance of being prepared for battle as a business leader with the understanding that cybersecurity is a real fight against other human beings who pose a threat to the safety of our resources. Next, Scott reveals more about his leadership and founder journey, with insights on how to manage and nurture successful teams. We also explore Scott's mission to get business leaders to take ownership of cyber safety rather than deferring only to their IT professionals. Our conversation dissects two major strategies for online safety, and how Ridgeback's system uses game theory to prevent attacks before they even begin.

Supply chain transformation is no longer just about efficiency. It is about resilience, intelligence, and trust across every layer of the system. In this episode, Reid Jackson and Liz Sertl were at GS1 Connect. Melanie Hilton sat down with Miguel Rodriguez Garcia from MIT, Frederik Bohn from Plug and Play Tech Center, and Lisa Morales-Hellebo from REFASHIOND Ventures to explore what supply chains could look like in 2050 and the challenges that must be solved today to get there. The conversation spans cybersecurity risks that now extend into physical operations, the rise of robotics in logistics, and the growing need for verified, trustworthy data across global networks. The guests also explore how interoperability gaps inside large enterprises slow progress, why collaboration remains one of the biggest barriers across industries, and how emerging approaches like AI agents and materials verification could reshape decision making. Together, they highlight that the future supply chain will depend on aligning technology, standards, and human behavior in ways that are still being defined. This is more than a discussion about emerging technology. It is an exploration of how supply chains must evolve into connected, transparent, and adaptive systems where data integrity, automation, and cross-industry collaboration determine long term success.

How are large language models changing the way security vulnerabilities are found? Richard chats with Sami Laiho about the rapidly changing landscape in security exploits. Certain LLM models like Anthropic's Mythos and Microsoft MDASH are optimized to find software vulnerabilities - and potentially fix them. And so there is an arms race of sorts, repairing old vulnerabilities before LLMs in the hands of black hats can exploit them. But what about everyone else? Sami talks about getting LLMs working for your organization to test for potential security risks and assess the impact of new vulnerabilities as they appear.

Why do companies continue spending heavily on cybersecurity technology while human behavior, poor governance, and skills shortages leave them exposed to attacks? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Phil Chapman, Cybersecurity Subject Matter Expert at Firebrand Training, about what more than two decades in the Royal Air Force, signals intelligence, counterterrorism, threat intelligence, and cybersecurity education taught him about defending companies in an increasingly complex threat environment. Phil's career provides a fascinating perspective on how intelligence skills developed in military and national security environments can be applied to modern cyber defense. After 23 years in the RAF, including work supporting organizations such as GCHQ and the NSA, training intelligence analysts, and working in counterterrorism, Phil moved into technology training and cybersecurity education. Today, he helps companies understand their cybersecurity training needs while supporting people building careers in an industry that continues to need new talent. A major theme throughout our conversation is Phil's belief that cybersecurity is fundamentally about people. Technology matters, but expensive security products cannot compensate for employees who do not recognize threats, executives who misunderstand their responsibilities, or companies that treat security awareness as an annual compliance exercise. Phil explains threat intelligence in practical business terms, examining the relationship between threats, vulnerabilities, business assets, and risk. We discuss why insiders remain one of the biggest security concerns facing companies, including malicious employees and the far more common problem of accidental actions such as clicking phishing links, sharing sensitive information, or sending data to the wrong recipient. The arrival of generative AI is making these problems harder to manage. Phil discusses how criminals are using AI to create more convincing phishing campaigns, deepfakes, social engineering attacks, and other forms of cybercrime. At the same time, employees are introducing new risks by using AI tools without understanding what happens to company data or whether appropriate policies and controls are in place. But this episode is also about opportunity. Phil challenges the stereotype that cybersecurity careers are only for highly technical people sitting behind multiple screens writing code. He explains the different career paths available across cybersecurity engineering, threat intelligence, incident response, security operations, governance, risk, compliance, and analysis, and why skills from customer service, the military, data analysis, writing, communications, and other professions can transfer successfully into cyber roles. For anyone considering a career change or trying to enter the technology industry, Phil offers practical advice on where to begin. Rather than chasing advanced certifications or trying to become an ethical hacker immediately, he recommends building a strong foundation, understanding networks and operating systems, staying current with the news, developing analytical thinking, and remaining curious about how criminals adapt world events and new technologies to create attacks. We also discuss cybersecurity apprenticeships and why alternative routes into technology careers could help companies develop talent while giving people of different ages and professional backgrounds access to an industry they may previously have considered out of reach. Finally, Phil explains why cybersecurity professionals cannot focus only on today's threats. AI is already changing both attack and defense strategies, while quantum computing is forcing companies to examine cryptography, data protection, and long-term security planning. His message to business leaders and technology professionals is clear: buying more technology will not solve every security problem. Companies need informed leadership, better governance, continuous learning, practical training, and people who understand how threats evolve. This conversation offers business leaders a clearer understanding of cyber risk, provides technology teams with practical ideas for improving security awareness, and offers anyone considering a cybersecurity career a realistic view of the opportunities, skills, and pathways available through training and apprenticeships.

As Chief Investment Strategist at Hightower Advisors, Stephanie Link spends her days researching the market's winners. Today, she's breaking it all down for us. Stephanie explains why the economy keeps defying the doom-and-gloom headlines, which stocks she thinks will champion the next decade, and why she believes we're only in the third inning of the AI revolution. Nicole and Stephanie get tactical fast: the difference between the Mag 7 and the "S&P 493," which stocks are not worth the hype, and Stephanie's thesis that cybersecurity stocks will end up being bigger than AI. She names her favorite tickers across cybersecurity, data centers, robotics, and quantum computing, and explains whether it's too late to buy NVIDIA. Stephanie also gets real about the so-called "AI bubble," the circular spending debate freaking out investors, and why she bought SpaceX but capped it at just 2% of her portfolio. Plus: what her 19-year-old daughter is investing in, why "FAANG" just got a 2026 update, and the one boring, unsexy ETF Stephanie says every new investor should consider.
