Jacob states, "The Act responds to high-profile breaches like SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline, highlighting federal contractor vulnerabilities." He warns of potential compliance costs for small businesses and the need for significant changes in cybersecurity practices. "Implementation will be challenging, especially for smaller contractors, requiring substantial investments and government support," he adds.

Jacob says, "MIT's AI risk repository will lead to more binding and focused regulations, ensuring AI accountability." He warns that high-risk AI systems in critical sectors may face increased scrutiny and legal liabilities. To mitigate risks, companies should rigorously test AI algorithms, conduct regular audits, and establish ethical AI committees.

Jacob highlights that modern rootkits, especially those used by nation-states, exploit advanced obfuscation techniques to evade detection. "Effective detection requires behavioral analysis, memory forensics, and integrity checks." Organizations should adopt multi-layered security, regular updates, and virtualization-based isolation. Intelligence sharing within the industry is crucial for staying ahead of these sophisticated threats.
