The Rise of Physical AI and Robotics: Why Hardware-Based Security is Non-Negotiable

Whether you’re a technologist, business leader, or simply curious, physical AI is reshaping how we live, work, and interact with the world. Its potential to augment human capabilities, solve global challenges, and create new industries is why physical AI is dominating conversations today. But how do we secure these systems against cyber threats that could have real-world consequences?

Satellite communications are no longer as secure as assumed

Satellite links are often considered inherently secure due to their distance and specialised infrastructure. In reality, this assumption no longer holds.

Sensitive data from critical infrastructure, enterprises, in-flight connectivity, and even government systems is increasingly transmitted over satellite networks without sufficient protection. At the same time, satellite communications are becoming a target for both cyber and geopolitical actors.

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Doesn’t Replace Classical Cryptography

Kimmo Järvinen, Co-founder and CTO, Xiphera

As quantum computing advances, discussions around the future of cryptography are becoming increasingly common. In many conversations, one message is often heard: in the future, only quantum-safe cryptography will be needed.

While quantum computing does introduce real risks to certain cryptographic systems, the reality is more nuanced. Future secure systems will not solely on a single “quantum-safe” algorithm. Instead, they will continue to combine multiple cryptographic technologies.
