If AI already finds and exploits vulnerabilities faster than people can, who in your org gets that capability first, and how long does everyone else wait? https://t.co/bhETRCoyLf

[Finite State @FiniteStateInc]

The new federal AI executive order reviews frontier AI models for cyber risk, then keeps the most capable behind classified benchmarking and early-access pilots.

Finite State's Doc McConnell makes the case for sharing more, not less. #AISecurity

Sharon Hagi on why product security has to be grounded in binary reality: what you actually compile and ship, not what the manifest says. https://t.co/zDuPaqrsh9

[Finite State @FiniteStateInc]

A monitor sees what your firmware does, not what it's made of, for example, a library that quietly hit end-of-life. Pre-ship analysis tells you what's in the build and what's actually reachable.

More from our CSO, Sharon Hagi, on how pre-ship and runtime fit together:

If governments are deploying frontier AI to defend critical infrastructure, who are they building it with? Responsible speed isn't a solo effort. https://t.co/oknu60hC3x

[Finite State @FiniteStateInc]

GCHQ wants a national AI cyber defense layer for UK critical infrastructure. Finite State's Doc McConnell: "The greatest risk right now is inaction," and responsible speed takes private-sector partners. #OTSecurity

If a zero-day in your routing infrastructure was exploited today, how confident are you that your vendor would tell you? Read our team's take on the Luxembourg telecom outage in the IoT M2M Council. https://t.co/qW1kuXmJ1C

[Finite State @FiniteStateInc]

A zero-day in telecom routing infrastructure caused three hours of nationwide outages in Luxembourg. 10 months later: no public CVE and no patch confirmation.

Finite State's Matt Wyckhouse and Sharon Hagi weigh in on the visibility defenders need today.

The biggest practical security risk isn't who made the router. It's whether it still gets patched. https://t.co/hKFXrch3Ta

"Preventing updates could unintentionally make Americans less safe."

Finite State's Doc McConnell in The Register on the FCC extending firmware update waivers for foreign-made routers and drones through Jan 2029.

Great insights from Matt Wyckhouse on the operational reality of the FCC waiver and keeping deployed devices secure. https://t.co/ZB7RKeydQm

100M+ active US routers avoided being frozen in time. The FCC extended the firmware update waiver for deployed foreign-made routers through Jan 2029.

At IoT Tech Expo in San Jose, Finite State’s Roland Lindsey emphasized securing the entire connected device stack:

“What we ship to customers is what we’re responsible for.”

Attackers look for vulnerabilities at every layer. Visibility across firmware, binaries, and source code is critical.

A source-manifest SBOM won't survive EU CRA scrutiny. Auditors demand ground truth instead of build-time assumptions. Our CRA managed service uses deep binary analysis to generate five maintained compliance deliverables per release. Evaluate the workflow: https://t.co/MKGf8eXN81

[Finite State @FiniteStateInc]

Without the FCC's extension last week, millions of US routers would have lost their patch pipeline in 2027.

Automakers have made progress on engineering and vulnerability disclosure. 🚗

"Who owns your firmware? Your devices? The NAND chips inside them?" 🌐

Joshua Marpet tells Industrial Cyber's Anna Ribeiro why cyber sovereignty means cracking open the "black box" of connected devices. Defending IT/OT demands binary-level truth.
