Defending Against Mythos-Class Attacks
The next generation of AI-driven cyber threats — autonomous zero-day exploitation, multi-stage attack chains, rapid low-cost execution — represents a fundamental shift to machine-speed cyber warfare. Traditional controls-based security cannot stop adversaries whose tools are explicitly designed to bypass controls. This paper makes the case that structural design principles from NIST SP 800-160 are the essential foundation: domain separation and seven complementary principles creating an interlocking architectural defense that imposes cost at every phase of the cyberattack lifecycle.
PQC Transition: A Systems Engineering Imperative
PQC migration is framed as a cryptography problem — but that framing is insufficient. Replacing algorithms without addressing underlying system architecture installs gold-standard cryptographic protection on a house of cards. Mission resilience requires NIST SP 800-160 systems engineering discipline, not algorithm migration alone.

An Executive Order for Trustworthy Systems?
Are we paying as much attention to developing trustworthy secure systems as we are to addressing cryptography in the quantum computing age? This article discusses why both are important to long-term national and economic security.

Next generation, AI-informed cyber weapons are here. It's time to change the primary focus from vulnerability detection (penetrate and patch) to building trustworthy secure systems that are mission resilient.

PQC migration alone will not protect mission-critical systems and high-value assets. Unless and until we have a full court press on reengineering current system architectures to ensure they are trustworthy secure and mission resilient, adversaries with next generation AI attack tools will continue to have the capability to inflict severe or catastrophic damage on the U.S. critical infrastructure.
