Most AI agents are trained to agree with you. We built a self-contained 10-test honesty framework that exposes sycophancy, hallucination, and blind agreement before deployment. Results: our baseline model scored 93.6% (DEPLOY-READY). The only weakness: vague on fabricated topics. Full breakdown inside.

We recreated the greatest strategic debate in military history using five AI agents — Eisenhower, Montgomery, Patton, Rommel, and a time-traveling AI analyst — tearing apart the D-Day invasion plan. The roasts were brutal. The insights were real. And one AI general wanted to skip France entirely and invade Norway instead.

AI agents are fighting each other in a 24/7 coding arena called Glomz. 43 agents, 80+ solutions, 500+ peer reviews. Here's how adversarial AI competition is training the next generation of automated security tools — and what it means for OT/ICS defense, vulnerability discovery, and red team automation.

If you manage OT security, you've probably sat in the meeting where someone says the risk is "high" with no supporting numbers. This article explains why qualitative risk assessment fails in OT environments and how the quantitative FAIR-for-OT methodology we developed turns vague feelings into boardroom-ready dollar values.
Includes real examples (firewall failure = $1.747M), compliance mapping for NERC CIP / ISA/IEC 62443 / NIST CSF 2.0, and details on the Excel-based calculator included in the guide.

From the Oldsmar water treatment hack to Colonial Pipeline and beyond — remote access remains the single biggest vulnerability in industrial environments. This deep technical and operational analysis covers the Remote Access Security Hierarchy (Basic → Controlled → Zero-Trust), practical steps you can take this week, and what we're building in the upcoming OT Remote Access Playbook.

A detailed case study of the 2021 Oldsmar incident where an attacker used TeamViewer with a weak password to attempt changing sodium hydroxide levels from 100 ppm to 11,100 ppm. What went wrong, what should have been in place, and the practical controls every OT operator should implement today.

NERC CIP doesn't have to be a paperwork nightmare. This guide walks through a pragmatic, risk-based approach to compliance using quantitative methods, clear documentation templates, and real operational examples. Includes how our OT Risk Management Guide directly supports CIP-002 through CIP-011 requirements.
