Deconstructing Security Assumptions to Ensure Future Resilience

Achieving security against novel, "unseen until it's too late" threats requires stress-testing core assumptions: that the enterprise is the primary locus of security and that humans retain data ownership. The article explores risks if enterprises erode (increasing human attack surface) and if generative AI changes who creates and controls data, and recommends mitigations such as broader public cyber education and alerting, secure-by-design GenAI architectures with segmentation, and emergency AI controls to strengthen future resilience.
