Hungry Data Centers Draining Water & Power -- Creating Risk!

The physical infrastructure behind digital services is becoming a critical business risk. In their YouTube channel Impact Analysis, Jerome Ryan and Mike Janko explore a rapidly emerging risk tied to the growth of AI — data center water and energy consumption.

While most attention focuses on the electricity demands, another critical and often overlooked resource is now under pressure, water. Modern data centers require massive cooling systems to manage heat generated by high performance computing.

This demand is increasing at an unprecedented pace. In this episode, Mike & Jerome break down the systemic risks emerging at the intersection of digital infrastructure, energy systems, and water resources.

2026 Attack Landscape Report

Drawing on nearly 800,000 real attacks across more than 4,600 organizations, this 32-page report is a data-driven analysis of phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and vendor email compromise (VEC). It examines how threat actors execute attacks and how they calibrate their approach to the operational context of their target—the org’s size, industry, employee roles, regional business norms, and security infrastructure.

The findings converge on a single operational reality: modern attacks exploit trusted relationships, normal business workflows, and the gaps that static defenses can’t close to manipulate employees and infiltrate organizations.
