As digital and emerging technologies become embedded in critical systems, decisions about how they are governed have far-reaching consequences. Technology governance determines who has authority, how decisions are made, and how accountability is enforced across institutions and systems. The Technology Governance  report, developed by the Cyber Institute, introduces the concept of technology governance and explains its central role in cybersecurity and emerging technology poli

Cybersecurity is often treated as a technical issue managed by information technology teams. In practice, cybersecurity is a strategic governance issue that affects national security, economic stability, public trust, and institutional resilience. The Cybersecurity Foundations  report, developed by the Cyber Institute, introduces cybersecurity from a non-technical, policy-oriented perspective. It explains what cybersecurity is, why it matters beyond technology, and how govern

In discussions about cybersecurity and emerging technologies, the terms policy , law , and regulation  are often used interchangeably. While closely related, each serves a distinct role within technology governance systems, and misunderstanding these differences can lead to ineffective or misaligned decision-making. The Policy, Law, and Regulation  report, developed by the Cyber Institute, clarifies how these governance mechanisms differ, how they interact, and why each plays

Cyber and emerging technologies are reshaping economies, security, and governance worldwide. As these technologies evolve faster than traditional regulation, policymakers, professionals, and the public need a shared foundation for understanding how technology is governed in the public interest. Intro to Cyber & Emerging Tech Policy Report  is a free public resource developed by the Cyber Institute to provide that foundation. This brief report explains what technology policy i

One of the biggest misconceptions about cyber and AI policy is that you need a deeply technical background to enter the field. In reality, policy is about governance, strategy, communication, and risk. These skills are accessible to women from all academic and professional backgrounds.

Emerging tech policy is evolving faster than traditional education systems can keep up. Women looking to enter (or advance in) cyber, AI, and digital governance roles should focus on portable, future-proof skills rather than narrow technical expertise.

Women are entering cybersecurity at higher rates than ever, yet representation in policy, governance, and strategic leadership roles remains disproportionately low.

A quick summary of the most important cybersecurity actions and a look at what organizations must prepare for next.

Shadow AI is the use of AI tools, often public generative apps without an organization’s approval or oversight, typically when employees turn to convenient services to move faster at work. Because these tools operate outside IT’s visibility, they create hidden data flows and governance gaps that can lead to leakage, non-compliance, and reputational harm. Unlike general “shadow IT,” the risk here is uniquely AI-shaped: models ingest and learn from sensitive inputs, generate ou
