Proud of my friend and former colleague from my White House days, Jake Braun, who has a powerful new book out: Fentanyl: Fighting the Mass Poisoning of America and the Cartel Behind It.

It was great joining #ShareTheMicInCyber co-founder Lauren Zabierek on the CyberWire Daily to talk about how the cybersecurity landscape & the people shaping it are evolving. Inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s how we build stronger, smarter defenses. thecyberwire.com/podcasts/dai...

AI isn’t just another tool—it’s a forcing function for reinvention. Too often, organizations rush to deploy AI and stumble—not because the tech fails, but because their systems, culture, and governance weren’t built to sustain it. ⬇️

On Oct. 8, @cybercoalition.bsky.social & @cyberalliance.bsky.social will bring together leading voices to explore how industry and government can confront threats, strengthen resilience, and shape the future of cybersecurity at #CyberNextDC

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! A reminder that security isn’t just IT’s job, it’s a leadership imperative. This year, we’re embracing the theme Skeptical By Design. All month we’ll share tips + partner insights on how to protect trust, build resilience, and stay secure in a digital world!

AI is supposed to boost productivity, but too many orgs are drowning in endless low-quality drafts, repetitive outputs, and wasted review cycles. When paired with weak governance and poor planning, AI stops being innovation and starts being a liability. ⬇️

In “Safer Together: Inclusive Cybersecurity,” I explore how identity, trust, and lived experience shape how we interact with digital systems. Users aren’t the weakest link, they’re the most critical part of security. Read more: www.fdd.org/memo/2023/04... #InclusiveCybersecurity #CASStrategies

Thrilled to see the Raising Digital Natives Toolkit featured on #WJLA! Thank you Adrianna Hopkins for the thoughtful conversation. As teens embrace AI, chatbots & new tech, parents need more than rules, they need tools. Our toolkit helps families set boundaries, build trust & guide with confidence.

🌍 To all my friends and colleagues at Climate Week, I’ve been inspired by the conversations on resilience, adaptation, and innovation. Let’s take a closer look at a less visible but critical piece of the puzzle: food and drug provenance. open.substack.com/pub/netzerod...

Last weekend’s ransomware attack on major European airports is a wake-up call: resilience planning isn’t optional. Check-in systems went dark. Some flights were delayed and cancelled. But most planes kept flying because airports had manual backups ready. ➡️ camilleesq.substack.com/p/cyber-resi...

“As centuries of dictators have known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule; since the craft of reading cannot be untaught once it has been acquired, the second-best recourse is to limit its scope.” - Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading

“I’m the only door between the Iranians and our water system.” Powerful reporting by @npr.org @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social on how Franklin - and volunteer Tim Pappa - are stepping in to help water operators defend against foreign cyber threats. #CyberCivilDefense #Take9 www.npr.org/2025/09/08/n...

Amelia Earhart said, “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” That’s entrepreneurship. The journey changes you, whether you land safely or not.

The Senate just passed my bill by UC to release this report to the public, to end this cover-up by CISA. Now the House needs to pass my bill so the public can see how shockingly insecure our phone system is. Then the government must hold phone companies accountable for failing cybersecurity 101.

AI is accelerating. Layoffs are mounting. And an entire generation is starting to wonder if there’s still a place for them in the future economy. I’ve analyzed the U.S.’s current plan & what it’ll take to truly future-proof our workforce. What are worried about? open.substack.com/pub/camillee...

As the US grapples with China to be the leader in AI, internal debates rage about the right action. @camillestewartgloster.com joins @djrothkopf.bsky.social to explore why the best way to become the leader in AI might not be what you think. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... youtu.be/SSWBmVugXAc

The U.S. just redrew the map for AI governance. Three takes. Three angles. One urgent truth: What’s happening right now with AI policy matters—for industry, climate, and democracy. Here’s a thread on the AI Action Plan and why we should all be paying attention.

Denmark wants you to copyright your face. The U.S.? Still treating it like freeware. New piece on what it means to own your likeness in the age of deepfakes. Identity isn’t just personal anymore. It’s programmable, profitable, and political. Read: open.substack.com/pub/camillee...

New post: The Tab-Complete Trap AI can write code, but it can’t engineer systems. Smart companies know: you don’t ship real products on tab-complete and vibes. Keep your engineers. Keep control. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/camillee...

Too much of AI policy is vibes. Cybersecurity? It’s war-gamed, audited, red-teamed. Afua Bruce and I wrote about what AI governance can learn from decades of cyber: 🔒 Design for threats ⚖️ Embed accountability 🔁 Build for failure, not fantasy Read here: www.techpolicy.press/what-ai-poli...

What if change is a knock on the door that invites us to something different?

Sometimes, sitting back and observing a technology in the wild (watching how it evolves, what use cases fail, and what societal impact emerges) is the most strategic move. open.substack.com/pub/camillee...

“It’s OK if you fall down and lose your spark. Just make sure that when you get back up, you rise as the whole damn fire.” —Colette Werden

Change is not easy. Training & mission readying a workforce of the future requires systems thinking beyond merely the short term efficiency wins #AI can bring.

How do you get leaders to think beyond “how do I get more efficient?” and shift to “how do I redesign the way I deliver value?” particularly as we move from an era of user experience(UX) to agentic experience (AX)….
