Episode Description
CISA Warns: Volt Typhoon Infiltrates US Infrastructure
CISA, the FBI, and NSA warn that China's Volt Typhoon group has pre-positioned destructive capabilities inside U.S. critical infrastructure, including energy and water systems, for over five years. General Thomas Hensley characterized the sophisticated infiltration as setting conditions for "total war," even as the EPA reveals 70% of inspected water systems fail basic cybersecurity hygiene like changing default passwords. In response to rising systemic risk and regulatory pressure, the Explainable AI market surges past $9.77 billion as the EU AI Act makes transparency mandatory for high-risk automated decisions. Technical leaders must urgently integrate XAI and abstraction layers into architecture, or face massive legal liability and the operational chaos of an IT breach cascading into an OT disaster.
