The results of the 2024 US presidential election kicked off a flurry of speculation about what changes a second Donald Trump administration will bring in terms of policy, including cybersecurity.InformationWeek spoke to three experts in the cybersecurity space about potential shifts and how security leaders can prepare while the industry awaits change.Changes to CISAIn 2020, Trump fired Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Christopher Krebs after he attested to the security of the election, despite Trumps unsupported claims to the contrary. It seems that the federal agency could face a significant shakeup under a second Trump administration.The Republican party believes that agency has had a lot of scope creep, AJ Nash, founder and CEO of cybersecurity consultancy Unspoken Security, says.For example, Project 2025, a policy playbook published by conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, calls to end CISAs counter-mis/disinformation efforts. It also calls for limits to CISAs involvement in election security. The project proposes moving the CISA to the Department of Transportation.Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 during his campaign, but there is overlap between the playbook and the president-elects plans, the New York Times reports.Related:I think it safe to say that CISA is going to have a lot of changes, if it exists at all, which I think [is] challenging because they have been very responsible for both election security and a lot of efforts to curb mis-, dis- and malinformation, says Nash.AI Executive OrderIn 2023, President Biden signed an executive order regarding AI and major issues that arose in the wake of its boom: safety, security, privacy, and consumer protection. Trump plans to repeal that order.We will repeal Joe Bidens dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI Innovation, and imposes Radical Leftwing ideas on the development of this technology. In its place, Republicans support AI Development rooted in Free Speech and Human Flourishing, according to a 2024 GOP Platform document.Less federal oversight on the development of AI could lead to more innovation, but there are questions about what a lack of required guardrails could mean. AI, how it is developed and used, has plenty of ramifications to cybersecurity and beyond.The tendency of generative AI to hallucinate or confabulate that's the concern, which is why we have guardrails, points out Claudia Rast, chair of the intellectual property, cybersecurity, and emerging technology practice at law firm Butzel Long.Related:While the federal government may step back from AI regulation, that doesnt mean states will do the same. You're going to see California [and] Texas and other states taking a very proactive role, says Jeff Le, vice president of global government affairs and public policy at cybersecurity ratings company SecurityScorecard.California Governor Gavin Newsom signed several bills relating to the regulation of GenAI. A bill -- the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA) -- was introduced in the Lone Star State earlier this year.Cybersecurity RegulationThe Trump administration is likely to roll back more cybersecurity regulation than it will introduce. I fully anticipate there to be a significant slowdown or rollback on language or mandated reporting, incident reporting as a whole, says Le.Furthermore, billionaire Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, which will look to cut back on regulation and restructure federal agencies, Reuters reports.But enterprise leaders will still have plenty of regulatory issues to grapple with. They'll be looking at the European Union. They'll be looking at regulations coming out of Japan and Australia they'll also be looking at US states, says Le.That's going to be more of a question of how they're going to navigate this new patchwork.Related:Cyber Threat ActorsNation state cyber actors continue to be a pressing threat, and the Trump administration appears to be planning to focus on malicious activity coming out of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.I do anticipate the US taking a more aggressive stance, and I think that's been highlighted by the incoming national security advisor Mike Waltz, says Le. I think he has made a point to prioritize a more offensive role, and that's with or without partners.Waltz (R-Fla.) has been vocal about combatting threats from China in particular.Preparing for ChangePredicting a political future, even just a few short months away, is difficult. With big changes to cybersecurity ahead, what can leaders do to prepare?While uncertainty prevails, enterprise leaders have prior cybersecurity guidelines at their fingertips today. It's time to deploy and implement the best practices that we all know are there and [that] people have been advising and counseling for years at this point, says Rast.

Hollywoods guiding philosophy over the past few decades goes something like this: If it worked once before, it will work again.Once an idea connects with audiences, studios will run it into the ground with sequels, remakes, reboots, prequels, and legacyquels. Original concepts? Bold ideas? Feh! Giveem an old hit, a second (or third, or tenth) time. That will work, right?Not always. Despite what studio executives might believe, sure things are no certainty, and for every bona fide blockbuster sequel there areaa dozen that stopped a franchise in its tracks. Plus, Hollywood has made so many sequels in the last few years, that only the most dedicated film nerd could possibly remember themall.Lets see how manyyouremember. Here is a list of 20 sequels, most released in the 21st century. See how many remain etched in your mind just a few years later, and how many you forgot about, even if (or maybeespecially if) you watched them once upon a time. Keep in mind: These are not sequels to obscure foreign titles, orcheapo junkthat went direct-to-video. These are marquee movie brands with A-list stars, based on movies that in most cases remain quite popular on home video and streaming. Its just that sometimes when things work once, theycantwork the same again.(By the way: Weve made a list of forgotten movie sequels before. None of the obscure titles on that list repeat here.

Google DeepMind has a new way to look inside an AIs mind We dont know exactly how AI works, or why it works so well. Thats a problem: It could lead us to deploy an AI system in a highly sensitive field like medicine without understanding that it could have critical flaws embedded in its workings. A team at Google DeepMind that studies something called mechanistic interpretability has been working on new ways to let us peer under the hood. It recently released a tool to help researchers understand what is happening when AI is generating an output. Its all part of a push to get a better understanding of exactly what is happening inside an AI model. If we do, well be able to control its outputs more effectively, leading to better AI systems in the future. Read the full story.

Its time for a partythe Conference of the Parties, that is. Talks kicked off this week at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Running for a couple of weeks each year, the global summit is the largest annual meeting on climate change. The issue on the table this time around: Countries need to agree to set a new goal on how much money should go to developing countries to help them finance the fight against climate change. Complicating things? A US president-elect whose approach to climate is very different from that of the current administration (understatement of the century). This is a big moment that could set the tone for what the next few years of the international climate world looks like. Heres what you need to know about COP29 and how Donald Trumps election is coloring things. The UN COP meetings are an annual chance for nearly 200 nations to get together to discuss (and hopefully act on) climate change. Greatest hits from the talks include the Paris Agreement, a 2015 global accord that set a goal to limit global warming to 1.5 C (2.7 F) above preindustrial levels. This year, the talks are in Azerbaijan, a petrostate if there ever was one. Oil and gas production makes up over 90% of the countrys export revenue and nearly half its GDP as of 2022. A perfectly ironic spot for a global climate summit! The biggest discussion this year centers on global climate financespecifically, how much of it is needed to help developing countries address climate change and adapt to changing conditions. The current goal, set in 2009, is for industrialized countries to provide $100 billion each year to developing nations. The deadline was 2020, and that target was actually met for the first time in 2022, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which keeps track of total finance via reports from contributing countries. Currently, most of that funding is in the form of public loans and grants. The thing is, that $100 billion number was somewhat arbitraryin Paris in 2015, countries agreed that a new, larger target should be set in 2025 to take into account how much countries actually need. Its looking as if the magic number is somewhere around $1 trillion each year. However, it remains to be seen how this goal will end up shaking out, because there are disagreements about basically every part of this. What should the final number be? What kind of money should countjust public funds, or private investments as well? Which nations should pay? How long will this target stand? What, exactly, would this money be going toward? Working out all those details is why nations are gathering right now. But one shadow looming over these negotiations is the impending return of Donald Trump. As I covered last week, Trumps election will almost certainly result in less progress on cutting emissions than we might have seen under a more climate-focused administration. But arguably an even bigger deal than domestic progress (or lack thereof) will be how Trump shifts the countrys climate position on the international stage. The US has emitted more carbon pollution into the atmosphere than any other country, it currently leads the world in per capita emissions, and its the worlds richest economy. If anybody should be a leader at the table in talks about climate finance, its the US. And yet, Trump is coming into power soon, and weve all seen this film before. Last time Trump was in office, he pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement. Hes made promises to do it againand could go one step further by backing out of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) altogether. If leaving the Paris Agreement is walking away from the table, withdrawing from the UNFCCC is like hopping on a rocket and blasting in a different direction. Its a more drastic action and could be tougher to reverse in the future, though experts also arent sure if Trump could technically do this on his own. The uncertainty of what happens next in the US is a cloud hanging over these negotiations. This is going to be harder because we don't have a dynamic and pushy and confident US helping us on climate action, said Camilla Born, an independent climate advisor and former UK senior official at COP26, during an online event last week hosted by Carbon Brief. Some experts are confident that others will step up to fill the gap. There are many drivers of climate action beyond the White House, said Mohamed Adow, founding director of Power Shift Africa, at the CarbonBrief event. If I could characterize the current vibe in the climate world, its uncertainty. But the negotiations over the next couple of weeks could provide clues to what we can expect for the next few years. Just how much will a Trump presidency slow global climate action? Will the European Union step up? Could this cement the rise of China as a climate leader? Well be watching it all.

DAN THORNBERG/ADOBE STOCK Another thing Trumps election will have significant ripple effects across the economy and our lives. His victory is a tragic loss for climate progress, as my colleague James Temple wrote in an op-ed last week. Give it a read, if you havent already, to dig into some of the potential impacts we might see over the next four years and beyond. Keeping up with climate The US Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule to fine oil and gas companies for methane emissions. The fee was part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. (Associated Press) This rule faces a cloudy future under the Trump administration; industry groups are already talking about repealing it. (NPR)Speaking of the EPA, Donald Trump chose Lee Zeldin, a former Republican congressman from New York, to lead the agency. Zeldin isnt particularly known for climate or economic policy. (New York Times) Oil giant BP is scaling back its early-stage hydrogen projects. The company revealed in an earnings report that its canceling 18 such projects and currently plans to greenlight between five and 10. (TechCrunch) Investors betting against renewable energy scored big last week, earning nearly $1.2 billion as stocks in that sector tumbled. (Financial Times) Lithium iron phosphate batteries are taking over the world, or at least electric vehicles. These lithium-ion batteries are cheaper and longer-lasting than their nickel-containing cousins, though they also tend to be heavier. (Canary Media) I wrote about this trend last year in a newsletter about batteries and their ingredients. (MIT Technology Review)The US unveiled plans to triple its nuclear energy capacity by 2050. Thats an additional 200 gigawatts worth of consistently available power. (Bloomberg) Five subsea cables that can help power millions of homes just got the green light in Great Britain. The projects will help connect the island to other power grids, as well as to offshore wind farms in Dutch and Belgian waters. (The Guardian)
