With 6G promising ultra-dense networks, are we prepared for the security risks that come with it?

Modern power grids depend on constant chatter: smart meters, gateways, and control centres exchange data every second to balance demand, bill accurately, and keep electricity flowing. That connectivity, however, is also a vulnerability. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, malicious attempts to flood a server with excessive, fake traffic, can delay readings, disrupt operations, and, at worst, trigger outages.

Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design built and tested a prototype intrusion-detection framework that trains models where the data live (on devices), co-ordinates learning in the cloud, and conceptually aligns with the ultra-low latency and high device density expected of future 6G networks.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve human skills, write Mostafa Sayyadi, Michael J Provitera and Majid Ghazizadeh. However, according to them, it also worries employees, who may fear AI will take their jobs.

They continue: Executives must effectively lead this crisis and bring in AI ethically and thoughtfully to balance the path forward. With open discussions, managers can ease uncertainty about AI. They should explain how AI can work with employees, not against them. They must focus on ethics and people, not just efficiency. Adapting to this change is extremely challenging. Nevertheless, organisations can still thrive in the AI era, with responsible leadership focused on empowering people

With extreme weather events on the rise, Brazil remains incredibly vulnerable, resulting in widespread disruption and economic losses, note Dayna Maressa Soares Pacheco Pamato and Elton Cesar Cunha. According to them, to address this growing issue, the Municipal Civil Defense in the State of Santa Catarina developed an operational model to involve all 295 municipalities.

They add: Since its creation, the board has stood out in responding to disasters of natural, manufactured, or mixed origins, such as heavy rains that cause flooding, inundations, and landslides in several regions of the State of Santa Catarina. In 2020, while the world was battling Covid-19, the group played a fundamental role in co-ordinating actions to prevent, combat, and protect society, in conjunction with other areas of municipal public management.

Organisations today face a rising number of crises, from natural disasters and pandemics to geopolitical conflicts and economic shocks, that not only disrupt operations, but also profoundly affect the workforce, writes Beverley Griffiths.

She continues: The August 2017 cyberattack on Copeland Borough Council, UK, provides a powerful example of the human cost of the crisis. The leadership team faced the enormous challenge of maintaining morale and service delivery in an environment where technology had effectively ceased to exist. Despite the scale of disruption, the council’s response demonstrated the importance of transparent communication, ethical leadership, and a strong commitment to staff wellbeing. These practices align with the BS 65000:2014 guidance on organisational resilience.

‘How do geopolitics shape the flow of information and aid during complex emergencies?’

In the new episode of CRJ Listen, Zainab Farooqui speaks to Derek Cheevers about his time deployed in Türkiye after the 2023 earthquake, where political dynamics, access constraints, and diplomatic negotiations all played a decisive role in how responders could gather information and deliver assistance.

Tune in for an insightful discussion on the realities of fieldwork in geopolitically sensitive environments, the effects of restricted information flows, and why diplomacy is often as crucial as logistics in responding effectively.

‘How can we manage misinformation during complex emergencies?’

In this episode of CRJ Listen, Zainab Farooqui speaks to Derek Cheevers about his deployments in Türkiye and Poland with the European Civil Protection Mechanism. Listen as he explores this very question in the context of the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake, explaining how, in an era of widespread misinformation, responders must focus on gathering and verifying information with the tools and resources available.

Tune in for an engaging discussion about his experiences in the field, his role during these deployments, and the challenges of co-ordination, information gathering, and effective dissemination.

Can people trust what they don’t recognise?

For many businesses and organisations, a crisis brings more than the immediate challenge of responding to what has happened, says Amanda Coleman.

According to her, smaller organisations, often invisible until an emergency strikes, must first establish who they are before explaining what has happened. She notes that without a clear online identity in an era of misinformation, others will define it for you.

First responders are inherently exposed to psychologically traumatic events, increasing their risk of developing mental health condition, writes Erik de Soir. According to him, in such cases, early psychological support interventions and psychological debriefing have been used in an attempt to mitigate the various mental health effects of critical incidents on soldiers and first responders.

He continues: The problem is that up until today, there is not a single guideline that states what should be done to support uniformed services personnel in the first golden hours after exposure to critical, potentially traumatic events. Researchers lack field experience, and field workers lack scientific knowledge, but one thing is certain: After major crisis situations, first responders will stay together, share experiences, and support each other.

What kind of intelligence can navigate a world that refuses to be predicted, asks Nashin Mahtani. According to her, as old patterns of prediction based on ecological cues unravelled due to the climate crisis, new signals emerged and converged on the phone screen; however, the sheer volume of information sharing made it difficult to filter through the noise.

She adds: To meet this challenge, our team developed Situational Intelligence Open Source Software to transform the noise of social media into a crisis response network. Our software plugs directly into existing social media channels and listens for disaster-related keywords. The system immediately displays verified reports on a live, web-based map, PetaBencana.id, making it freely accessible to all residents, first responders, and government agencies.
