Cyberwarfare
We assume a corporate data breach will always destroy a public stock price. In reality the impending wave of quantum cyber attacks will eventually force Wall Street to treat getting hacked as a completely normal operating expense.
We assumed Wiz walked away from Google forever when they famously rejected the initial buyout offer. The reality is that Google returned with thirty two billion dollars to officially acquire the startup and weaponize their elite leadership team.
Cyberwarfare
We assume artificial intelligence is primarily a weapon utilized strictly for foreign cyber warfare. In reality the massive computational power of these algorithms will completely revolutionize domestic security by making organized crime mathematically impossible.
Technology
We assume corporate cybersecurity relies on installing better antivirus software on employee laptops. In reality, the rise of autonomous malware is forcing the entire security perimeter directly into the enterprise web browser.
Cyberwarfare
Autonomous malware is the new biological weapon. The integration of artificial intelligence and quantum processing will render international cyber law completely obsolete. Inspiration: Thinking about the current state of quantum computing. Realizing that high error rates are terrible for scientific modeling but absolutely perfect for brute-forcing global encryption keys.
