AIs have limitations. We know it, but it is sometimes difficult to really understand how limited AIs are. The purpose of this article is to explain in a understandable way the main limitations of AI through of a simple game: the famous professor Falken's Tic-Tac-Toe. We will illustrate these limitations and find options to circumvent them.

In this article, we will explore the fascinating world of placebos, examining their current and potential future impact on the field of cybersecurity. Through real-life examples and expert insights, we will uncover the hidden power of perception and its influence on our online behaviors, threat responses, and security decision-making.

Technical and decision debts are two common concepts applicable to almost any technological field. Let's see what they really mean in the context of CyberSecurity, how they are intrinsically linked, what is their impact for your infrastructure and how they can possibly be addressed.

2024 cybersecurity predictions reports highlight Generative AI as one of the major risks to IT for this year. This is a fraud. AI is not Generative AI, and the real risks do not lie in the easiness of creating malware or making deep fakes. Let's debunk some of those predictions and embrace the reality of AI risks and benefits to cybersecurity. Only then we can foresee the upcoming trends for the near future.

Hackers (according to the genuine meaning) are technical experts, relentless searching for the weak spot in our defenses. This is not new, and the very point is to know if we really can contain them at the gate of our IT infrastructure if we don't have the same level of expertise. Obviously the answer is no. Let's analyze why and what is the journey to get on par with the attackers.

Entropy measures disorder, and is subject to a compelling law: it can only grow. This applies also to an IT Security infrastructure. Therefore, how can we manage, control and even leverage the neverending growth of the disorder brought by the digital transformation and the relentless threats evolution ?

Cognitive biases are part of our human nature. They interfer with our logical thinking to mislead us and get to the conclusions we expected, would they be irrational. IT Security is no exception, and several biases are well known to alter our capability to defend an infrastructure or react to an intrusion. Let's delve into the most common biases and see how they materialize in the world of CyberSecurity.

The battle of Waterloo is the last stage of an entire campaign, each step of which was a victory for the French emperor. However, it turned into a disaster. In this blog, we will analyze the reasons for this unexpected outcome and see how this could be applied to IT security, eventually defeating the intruder even if some battles are to be lost.

Breach detection efficiency is all about consistent monitoring, organization and communication, experience (and expertise), training and proper tooling. So is mountain rescue. Let's be prepared, and learn from 200 years of mountain exploration how to quickly and efficiently get out of a worst case scenarios.

Defending an IT infrastructure is usually considered as a much harder task than attacking it. Surrounded by countless attackers, a handful of defenders struggle to protect an heterogeneous, dispersed, vulnerable and volatile collection of assets. And no right to make any mistake. Definitely, the rules of the game are unfair, and it is time for a change.
