The Watchers

Kim Irvin, co-founder and CEO of Minerva Cyber Technologies, examines how small defense contractors absorb cash-flow pressure, regulation, and uncertainty around CMMC. She and Andy Sauer consider AI as both an attack tool and a defensive necessity, argue for human oversight, and assess the case for an independent cyber force. Kim also explains why resilience in the defense industrial base depends on mission-driven people and stronger protection across the supply chain.
