The U.S. just committed $2B to quantum computing via the CHIPS Act — and took equity stakes in all 9 recipients. @IBM, D-Wave, Rigetti, Quantinuum & more. Shor's algorithm started a clock. Washington is racing to answer it.

One government agency. 11 PAM platforms. That's not a security strategy—it's a liability.
@KeeperSecurity is making the case for consolidation, and it's compelling.

92% of security teams are confident in detection. 70% still have vulns hitting production. The gap isn't the scanner — it's everything after. My @RSAC Vendor Spotlight on @ArmorCode and why the control plane wins.

70% of cyberattacks start with harvested credentials. SSO doesn't fix it. Your password manager probably covers 25% of your workforce. Dashlane is rethinking the whole model — and their MCP trust layer for agentic AI is worth your attention. paradigmtechnica.com/2026/05/19/rsac-vendor-spotlight-dashlane/
