In TSG Ep. 1030, Alan Shimel, Garima Bajpai, Stephen Foskett, JP Morgenthal and Mike Vizard examine three major developments shaping the global technology landscape. First, the panel explores Iran’s evolving cyber posture and how asymmetric leverage increasingly centers on enterprise networks and critical infrastructure. Next, they break down OpenAI’s Pentagon deal and the broader implications of federal AI procurement, competitive dynamics among frontier AI labs and governance oversight. Finally, the conversation turns to portable anti-drone systems and the growing convergence of physical and digital security. From cyber operations to AI policy to counter-UAV technology, this episode examines how software, infrastructure and national strategy are becoming tightly interconnected.
