AI & Geopolitics: Secure Data Sharing Under Strain

Global instability and the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence are forcing governments and defense organizations to rethink secure data sharing. Petko Stoyanov, CTO at Everfox, highlights how geopolitics are reshaping cross-domain security. Here's the thing: Traditional methods for sharing intelligence, like manual reviews and physical media, cannot keep pace with modern threats. Stoyanov emphasizes the need to share data at "machine speed" across different classifications and coalition partners. This presents a new engineering challenge for most agencies. The most severe vulnerabilities are not just technical. They also come from outdated workflows, including manual approvals and delayed transfers. Stoyanov states that preventing tampering during data transfer is the single biggest threat. Ultimately, this matters because secure and rapid data sharing is critical for national security and international cooperation in a rapidly changing world.
