In Northern California wine country the weekend before RSAC, roughly 80 top cybersecurity CEOs, chief information security officers and former government officials convene at the intimate Cyber Council gathering to game out the next two to three years for the industry.

TORRANCE, Calif. —A cruise-missile airframe is being 3D-printed before my eyes. The AI-driven system, the size of a shipping container, hums as it stacks layer on layer of aluminum and proprietary advanced metals.
Why it matters: This white-floored factory at Divergent Technologies, just outside L.A., is a window into the American arsenal of the future.
Each of Divergent's printers, engineered and manufactured in the U.S., can produce hundreds of these missile airframes each year. They're part of a new generation of "low-cost" missiles that are roughly one-tenth the cost of a legacy system.
The finished missiles, including parts from other contractors, run $200,000 to $500,000. Legacy standard missiles range from $2 million to $6 million each.
