In recent years, Federal Agencies have been challenged by a growing list of adversaries operating in an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape. At the same time, Agencies have been diligently modernizing their information technology (IT) environments to accommodate evolutionary cloud technology trends and a more mobile and remote workforce. These dynamics have combined to create a complex and seemingly insurmountable challenge in securing and protecting the systems, infrastructure, data, information, and personnel representing our nations most critical and sensitive assets.

In the cybersecurity domain, Agencies are facing a myriad of limitations and constraints across both business and technical challenges. Effectively securing mission critical assets is paramount against a landscape of constrained funding, talent shortages, cyber skills gaps, and an overwhelming regulatory and compliance framework. The fast pace of technology evolution and urgent demands for decisive advantage in the cybersecurity domain to combat determined adversaries has resulted in complex operational IT environments with disjointed and siloed security architectures. In many Agencies, security teams are flooded with data, alerts, and indicators without the ability to properly analyze, make sense of, and act upon the insights and information available to them. Un-protected attach surfaces, security blindspots, and exposed vulnerabilities remain throughout the environment and are prime targets for malicious actors. Deployments of common, baseline solutions with manual analysis and process workflows have not proven effective against todays adversaries.

While the cyber threat landscape continues to outpace defenses, federal IT and OT environments are also going through evolutionary change. Recognizing the performance, innovation, speed, and scale advantages of cloud platforms and solutions, Agencies are actively moving more sensitive and critical applications, data, and information to cloud environments. With a more mobile and remote workforce, Agencies have had to rethink and re-architect their IT capabilities to deliver more distributed capabilities resulting in a broadening of attack surfaces and increase in risks across the IT estate. The architectural changes occurring across the federal IT and OT landscape demand equally evolutionary change to the security and protections deployed to secure our federal assets and information.

The current geopolitical environment, with multiple overseas conflicts that threaten US interests on the world stage, pits the United States against technology advanced nations and demonstrates for the first time in history the importance of cybersecurity and technology capabilities and dominance.

To address these challenges, the Presidents Executive Order on Cybersecurity (EO14028) seeks to drive urgent and immediate change throughout federal government to modernize and improve the security posture of the nations IT infrastructure, foster robust threat and information sharing, enhance visibility of vulnerabilities and exposures, and improve investigative capabilities to automatically protect, detect, and respond to malicious activities, incidents, and events. To support this order, current OMB Memorandums (M-21-31) are directing agencies through a maturity model aimed at not just collecting and storing log data for visibility, but also evolving and applying AI/ML and Behavior Analytic capabilities to enable orchestrated, automated, and comprehensive protective response actions. The Event Logging 3 Tier, at an advanced level, provides for the rapid and effective detection, investigation, and remediation of cyber threats as decisive actions against modern adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

May 2023's Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG booster pack is Cyberstorm Access. It adds many interesting and powerful new cards to the game, including support for past archetypes, two brand-new archetypes, and various Spell and Trap cards for players to add to their decks or collections.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Cyberstorm Access is particularly notable for its cover card, Firewall Dragon Singularity. This is a new member of the Firewall series, primarily known for its infamous debut member, its relation to the larger Cyberse monster type, and its usage by the main character Playmaker in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime series. The Firewall series also receives new support in the booster pack, finally upgrading it from a series into a full-fledged Yu-Gi-Oh! archetype.

RELATED: Why Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Traditional Format Is Perfect for New and Returning Players

Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Link Monsters arrived in 2017. These powerful Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters are blue Extra Deck monsters with a Link Rating based on how many Link Arrows they have, instead of a Level, Rank or Defense Points. Link Monsters can only be Link Summoned using a specific number of monsters as Link Material.

When they were first introduced, Link Monsters' Link Arrows that point to other Monster Zones on the field allowed players to summon additional Extra Deck monsters to the corresponding Monster Zones. As of Master Rule 6, Link Arrows usually matter when effects specifically mention them, but Link Monsters still can only be Link Summoned to the Extra Deck Monster Zones or the Main Monster Zones that Link Arrows of other Link Monsters point to.

Firewall Dragon is a notorious Link Monster that was on Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Forbidden list from December 2018 until April 2021 after some effect changes. Firewall Dragon's first effect allows players to target monsters on the field and in the Graveyard, up to the number of co-linked monsters, and return them to their hand. Players can use this ability once while Firewall Dragon is face-up on the field. Firewall Dragon's second effect was initially far more powerful than it is now -- the original effect allowed players to Special Summon any one monster from their hand if Firewall Dragon's arrows point a monster destroyed in battle or sent to the Graveyard.

Firewall Dragon's original effects enabled devastating board clears and Special Summoning combos combined with other card effects, especially the Link Monsters of the time. The card was so broken that Konami changed its second ability to only work with one Cyberse-type monster, as well as limiting both effects to once per turn.

RELATED: These Yu-Gi-Oh! Decks Are Crushing the Meta

Firewall Dragon was overpowered for a while, but this didn't stop Konami from adding new Firewall monsters to future Yu-Gi-Oh! booster packs. The first one added wasn't a Link Monster; instead, Konami added the Rank 4 Xyz Monster, Firewall eXceed Dragon, from 2019's Dark Neostorm booster pack. More Firewall Link Monsters appeared after Firewall eXceed Dragon, including Firewall Darkfluid Dragon from 2019's Chaos Impact booster pack and Firewall Darkfluid Dragon - Neo Tempest Terahertz from 2023's Maze of Memories booster pack.

Unlike the original version of Firewall Dragon, its successors didn't have absurdly powerful effects that needed nerfing. Some of their effects support Cyberse-type monsters in some way, while their other effects are relatively standard for their time of release. Unfortunately, as a result, they are also much less notable than their predecessor.

RELATED: Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Egyptian Gods Are the Most Iconic TCG Cards Ever Printed

Like past Yu-Gi-Oh! booster packs, Cyberstorm Access not only adds another Firewall Link Monster to the TCG with Firewall Dragon Singularity, but it also gives the series its first support, expanding it from a series of Cyberse-type monsters into its own archetype. It's not yet enough for a Firewall-specific deck, but the cards synergize well with other Cyberse-type monsters.

Firewall support in CyberStorm Access includes two Effect Monsters, Firewall Defenser and Firewall Phantom, as well as the Cynet Circuit Trap card. There's also the Cynet Rollback Spell card, which doesn't support Firewall monsters specifically, but instead serves as generic support for all Cyberse-type monsters.

RELATED: Why Yu-Gi-Oh! Could Be 2023's Best TCG

It took five years for Konami to expand the Firewall series into a proper Yu-Gi-Oh! archetype, but it doesn't necessarily mean there'll be another five years before more support arrives. However, fans of the archetype should be wary that due to the frequency of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG set releases and the sheer number of cards, it will likely be some time before players get to experiment with new Firewall cards.

Although the Firewall archetype is newer than others, most archetypes receive support occasionally -- and with Yu-Gi-Oh! going strong for 25 years, the game features an astonishing number of archetypes overall. However, given the Firewall archetype's connection to a Yu-Gi-Oh! anime protagonist, it's more likely than other archetypes to receive future support. It will be interesting to see how the Firewall archetype evolves in the years to come.

While many experts agree that artificial intelligence holds tremendous potential for advancing medical science and human health, a group of international doctors and other specialists warned this week that AI "could pose an existential threat to humanity" and called for a moratorium on the development of such technology pending suitable regulation.

Responding to an open letter signed by thousands of experts calling for a pause on the development and deployment of advanced AI technology, pioneering inventor, futurist, and Singularity Group co-founder Ray Kurzweilwho did not sign the lettersaid on Wednesday that "there are tremendous benefits to advancing AI in critical fields such as medicine and health, education, pursuit of renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels, and scores of other fields."

However, an analysis by an international group of physicians and related experts published in the latest edition of the peer-reviewed journal BMJ Open Health warns that "while artificial intelligence offers promising solutions in healthcare, it also poses a number of threats to human health and well-being via social, political, economic, and security-related determinants of health."

According to the study:

Facial recognition systems have also been shown to be more likely to misclassify gender in subjects who are darker-skinned. It has also been shown that populations who are subject to discrimination are under-represented in datasets underlying AI solutions and may thus be denied the full benefits of AI in healthcare.

The publication's authors highlighted three distinct sets of threats associated with the misuse of AI. The first of these is "the ability of AI to rapidly clean, organize, and analyze massive data sets consisting of personal data, including images."

This can be utilized "to manipulate behavior and subvert democracy," the authors explained, citing the role of AI in attempts to subvert the 2013 and 2017 Kenyan elections, the 2016 U.S. presidential race, and the 2017 French presidential contest.

"When combined with the rapidly improving ability to distort or misrepresent reality with deepfakes, AI-driven information systems may further undermine democracy by causing a general breakdown in trust or by driving social division and conflict, with ensuing public health impacts," the analysis contends.

The second set of threats concerns the development and deployment of lethal autonomous weapons systemsoften referred to as "killer robots"that can select, engage, and destroy human targets without meaningful human control.

The third threat set involves the many millions of jobs that experts predict will be lost due to the widespread deployment of AI technology.

"While there would be many benefits from ending work that is repetitive, dangerous, and unpleasant, we already know that unemployment is strongly associated with adverse health outcomes and behavior, including harmful consumption of alcohol and illicit drugs, being overweight, and having lower self-rated quality of life and health and higher levels of depression and risk of suicide," the analysis states.

Furthermore, the paper warns of the threat of self-improving, general-purpose AIor AGIis "potentially all-encompassing":

"With exponential growth in AI research and development, the window of opportunity to avoid serious and potentially existential harms is closing," the authors stressed. "The future outcomes of the development of AI and AGI will depend on policy decisions taken now and on the effectiveness of regulatory institutions that we design to minimize risk and harm and maximize benefit."

"Crucially, as with other technologies, preventing or minimizing the threats posed by AI will require international agreement and cooperation, and the avoidance of a mutually destructive AI 'arms race,'" the analysis stresses. "It will also require decision-making that is free of conflicts of interest and protected from the lobbying of powerful actors with a vested interest."

"Crucially, as with other technologies, preventing or minimizing the threats posed by AI will require international agreement and cooperation."

"If AI is to ever fulfill its promise to benefit humanity and society, we must protect democracy, strengthen our public-interest institutions, and dilute power so that there are effective checks and balances," the authors concluded.

The new analysis comes a week after the White House unveiled a plan meant to promote "responsible American innovation in artificial intelligence."

On Wednesday, Data for Progress published a survey showing that more than half of U.S. votersincluding 52% of Democrats, 57% of Independents, and 58% of Republicansbelieve the United States "should slow down AI progress."

According to the survey, 62% of voters also support the creation of a federal agency to regulate the development and deployment of AI technology.

I cant wait to wear it this summer

People / Tyler Roeland

While I love to bundle up under cozy sweaters and scarves, there's something special about sundress season. I adore the airiness, the singularity, and, of course, the twirl-ability that a sundress has to offer and my new favorite piece promises all of the above and then some.

I was influenced to buy the Britt Tiered Maxi Tent Dress from The Drop after seeing it pop up in so many stories by fellow PEOPLE writers. Although I've only had the dress for a few weeks, I've already worn it several times both for casual and dressier outings. And I'm hardly the only fan: The dress has garnered more than 1,300 perfect ratings at Amazon and, if you act fast, you can snag so many of its colors and sizes on sale up to 55 percent off.

The dress is made from super soft and breathable fabric that's great for beating the heat. Plus, its sleeveless top and tented skirt facilitate even more airflow, which is a necessity for me during East Coast summers; I already know this dress will be my everyday pick for the season. Still, the maxi hemline, tiered silhouette, and strong fabric stay put, so you don't have to worry about a Marilyn Monroe-esque accident happening when a gust of wind blows by. And to top it all off, its straps are adjustable and convertible to wear with a cross-back design.

In addition to its comfort and breathability, my favorite part about the Britt dress is its stylish versatility. I've paired it with a number of different accessories thus far: Sneakers to keep the look casual, ballet flats for a slightly dressier touch, both dainty and statement-making jewelry, and more. I'm sure I'll find new ways to wear it this summer, too.

Story continues

I bought the dress in black (which just so happens to be on sale right now!), but after owning and loving it, I definitely intend to stock up on other colors. One shopper wrote that they "want this dress in every color and to wear [it] every day" in their review, then finished off by calling it "soft and comfortable." You can also snag the Britt Dress on sale in ginger and rosette, along with full-price styles like dusty purple and navy stripe.

The dress is available in women's sizes XXS5X and a total of 18 different styles; discounts vary depending on size and style. And if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can give the dress a test run with Try Before You Buy, which allows members to order up to six eligible items free of charge, try them on over the course of a week, keep and pay for the pieces they like, and send back the items they don't. If you're not a member already, sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to give the Britt dress a proper try-on in different colors, sizes, and styles to find your perfect fit.

Get ahead of the sweltering curve this summer and stock up on The Drop Britt Tiered Maxi Tent Dress while so many of its sizes and styles are on sale. Keep scrolling to see some of its other standout styles.
