2. Chip Foundry Plans

Story by  Shane Snider

Key Points:

• A global chip shortage helped illustrate the need for supply chain relief and moved lawmakers to action.
• According to a 2021 report by the Semiconductor Industry Association, the US chip market share has declined from about 37% to 12%, with Asia now producing the lion’s share of chips used in everything from cars and refrigerators to smart phones and personal computers.
• Intel, Micron, TSMC, and other global semiconductor players have multi-billion dollar plans to build out chip manufacturing.

3. Combatting Cyber Attacks

4. Integrating AI

Story by Nathan Eddy

Key Points:

• A recent KPMG survey of 225 US executives at companies with revenue of $1 billion and above found while two-thirds of respondents believe generative AI will have a major impact on their organization, 60% say they are still a year or two away from implementing their first solution.
• Many of the generative AI tools at present have been trained on predominantly unknown data sources, meaning any generated content could on the surface look like a great outcome, but can prove to be less than helpful, trustworthy, or ethical.

5. CISA Moves to Mitigate Ransomware Attacks

Story by Carrie Pallardy

Key Points:

• The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has established the Ransomware Vulnerability Warning Pilot (RVWP) in an effort to mitigate ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure entities.
• Critical infrastructure organizations provide vital services like power, clean water, and health care. They face mounting challenges when it comes to preventing ransomware.
