Smart cities do not fail only when attackers break in. They fail when their systems treat delayed, reordered, or stale IoT state as if it were the current truth. In May 2024, a distributed denial-of-s

Autonomous systems are being deployed at scale in manufacturing, logistics, and critical infrastructure. The safety architecture they rely on assumes their sensors tell the truth. Here is the case for why that assumption needs a dedicated infrastructure layer — and what that layer looks like in production.
