Why Humans Need to Be in the Loop by Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO Scott Shambaugh, is the maintainer of the popular open source library “matplotlib” (visualizations in Python). He intentionally creates some “easier” bug reports and feature requests to encourage...
According to the headlines, AI is either going to cure cancer or terminate the human species. Meanwhile, on X there’s an unending shouting match between people with anime avatars and those with laser eyes. It is easy to tune...
by Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO Successful AI adoption requires intentional management. While many theories exist on how to drive AI adoption, DORA’s latest research utilized Bayesian analysis to isolate the specific strategies that actually impact team incorporation of AI. The...
As technical experts supporting Federal agencies, we are trained to defend against cyber threats. We build walls, we encrypt data, and we train users not to click on suspicious links. But what happens when the threat isn’t a hacker...
By Dr. Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO Recently, we received a notification from Amazon Web Services about retiring its original Amazon Glacier service. Unlike the usual notice along these lines, something about this amazed me: all current customers will be able...
The DoD’s Vision and the Public Sector’s Shoe-String Budget By Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO The government-wide push for Zero Trust is a mandate intended to minimize the impact of service and system vulnerabilities. At a recent ATARC webinar, leaders from...
By Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO The rush to integrate Generative AI has created a vast, uncontrolled ecosystem within most organizations. At a recent CSA webinar, “Preventing GenAI Data Leakage: Enabling Innovation Without Compromising Security”, security experts from Layer X provided...
By Dr. Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO Sensitive Data in the 2030s Requires Action Now Based on publicly available data and expert consensus, the timeline for “Q-Day” (the day a quantum computer can break today’s standard public-key encryption) is estimated to...
By Robert Buccigrossi, TCG CTO The recent Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Agentic AI Security Summit on August 19th, 2025, offered a clear-eyed look at the security challenges we face with autonomous AI systems. Here are my top 5 takeaways. 1....
