To achieve its objective the Fund uses a passive or indexing approach to try to achieve the Funds investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beat the Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. The Fund generally expects to use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow the Index, in instances in which a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not the Index.

An Atari 2600 chess cartridge has humiliated OpenAI's vaunted ChatGPT, highlighting the limits that large language models still face outside pure text.
What Happened: Citrix engineer Robert Caruso <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/robert-jr-caruso-23080180_ai-chess-atari2600-activity-7337108175185145856-HSP0/">pitted</a> ChatGPT-4o against Video Chess (1979) through an emulator and watched the bot "get absolutely wrecked on the beginner level," he wrote on LinkedIn.
Caruso said the 90-minute match went downhill immediately: the bot "confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were," first blaming Atari's pixel icons and then floundering even after he switched to algebraic notation.
The system begged to restart several times before the 1.19 MHz console sealed the win.
Chess has long served as a yardstick for machine intelligence. IBM's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) Deep Blue dethroned the world champion, then Garry Kasparov, in 1997, but ChatGPT is a language generator and not a search-heavy chess engine, and therefore unlikely to serve that purpose well.

Developers have tried to bridge the gap with plugins such as ChessGPT, yet the model still stumbles at board-state memory and legal-move tracking, as Caruso states.
Why It Matters: The flop arrives as ChatGPT jostles with Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google's Gemini, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Copilot and Anthropic's Claude for everyday users.

OpenAI, for its part, rolled out a more "reliable" GPT-o3 Pro model earlier this week, hoping to keep developers loyal.
OpenAI on Monday said its annualized revenue run rate has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852700/openai-surges-past-10-billion-in-annualized-revenue-amid-record-chatgpt-use-leaves-rivals-like-amazon-backed-anthropic-behind">climbed to $10 billion</a>, nearly doubling the $5.5 billion it posted at the end of 2024. The figure, which excludes Microsoft licensing fees and other one-off deals, reflects recurrent sales driven by ChatGPT's growing base of 500 million weekly active users as of March.
The company is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44580172/openai-finalizes-historic-40-billion-funding-round-valuing-company-at-300-billion-with-backing-from-softbank-and-microsoft">seeking up to $40 billion</a> in a SoftBank-led funding round that could push its valuation to $300 billion. Rival Anthropic, backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet, has crossed a $3 billion run-rate after securing $3.5 billion in capital, giving it a $61.5 billion valuation.

Bloomberg Reported Mattel Taps OpenAI To Help It Design Toys, Other Products

A new study from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is stirring debate about whether AI models can genuinely reason or simply mimic intelligent behavior. By testing systems like GPT-4 variants and Claude on classic logic puzzles, the research suggests that these tools may stumble when real problem-solving is required.
What Happened: Apple released a study challenging the notion that large language models (LLMs) can logically reason through complex tasks. Ars Technica <a href="https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/new-apple-study-challenges-whether-ai-models-truly-reason-through-problems/">explains</a> that by testing popular models like OpenAI's o1 and o3, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and DeepSeek-R1 on classic logic puzzles such as Tower of Hanoi and river crossing tasks, the research team discovered that these systems often fail when they encounter unfamiliar challenges that demand systematic thinking.
Even when equipped with established algorithms, the models struggled—highlighting a key gap between performing intelligently and actually thinking logically.
"It is truly embarrassing that LLMs cannot reliably solve Hanoi," said AI researcher Gary Marcus, with co-lead Iman Mirzadeh adding the models' behavior shows "their process is not logical and intelligent."
The study also found that while some models performed better on moderately difficult tasks by implementing step-by-step reasoning, they failed completely as complexity increased, often reducing their reasoning effort instead of expanding it.
This odd drop-off in effort, despite ample computing resources, shows what the researchers call a "counterintuitive scaling limit." Inconsistencies were also seen across a variety of puzzles, suggesting the failures are task-specific rather than purely technical.

Why It Matters: Some experts are countering Apple's conclusions, arguing that the apparent reasoning failures in AI models may originate from built-in constraints rather than inherent flaws.
Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at&nbsp;New Street Research, said that the paper is riddled with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45830549/pierre-ferragu-takes-apple-to-task-for-dismissing-the-ai-revolution-has-its-head-in-the-sand">"ontological nonsense."</a>
Economist Kevin A. Bryan suggested that these systems are trained to use shortcuts under tight computational budgets. He and others note that internal benchmarks show models perform better when allowed more tokens, but production systems restrict this on purpose to avoid inefficiency, meaning the Apple findings might be discovering limits by design, not nature.
Others, like software engineer Sean Goedecke and AI researcher Simon Willison, question whether logic puzzles are even fair tests for language models. Goedecke described DeepSeek-R1's failure on the Tower of Hanoi as a conscious decision to avoid impractical output, not a lack of ability.
Willison added that the test may simply run into token limits, hinting that the paper is more sensational than conclusive. Even Apple's researchers admit the puzzles represent a narrow slice of reasoning challenges and caution against generalizing their results too widely.
The study comes on the heels of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45844424/apple-wwdc-2025-ios-26-announced-with-liquid-glass-design-new-apple-intelligence-features-and-more">Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC)</a>, where Apple made a range of new announcements about its products.

Insights From Analysts:
Analysts at BlackRock detailed their insights on the stock market during their Midyear Forum.
According to its note, their takeaways were &#8220;look through near-term noise; be deliberate about the kinds of risk you're taking; leverage AI; and watch for biases.&#8221;
BlackRock reiterated focusing on the big picture. For all the ups and downs in markets since the start of the year, they agreed that the drivers of the best-performing companies' equity gains have not changed much.
&#8220;Our portfolio managers discussed several other techniques for spotting opportunities. They are leveraging AI to discern the signal from the noise, as well as tracking patterns and sentiment shifts in their own discussions. They also discussed the importance of being aware of and managing behavioral biases, recognizing that people are less likely to take risk when uncertainty is higher,&#8221; the note added.
Meanwhile, after a better-than-expected May inflation print, Ed Yardeni said that &#8220;Trump&#8217;s tariffs might not be as inflationary as feared. In other words, the widely anticipated stagflation scenario remains a no-show.&#8221;
However, the chief economist at LPL Financial, Jeffrey Roach, said, "Surprisingly, new and used vehicle prices declined in May, despite many expecting an increase in prices from tariffs."
According to him, prices for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899298/automotive-and-apparel-companies-absorbed-tariff-costs-amid-better-than-expected-may-cpi-print-b">apparel and autos</a>, "both highly sensitive to trade conditions, declined in May." Apparel prices also declined in April, indicating that these companies likely "absorbed tariff costs."
"But don&#8217;t expect that to continue," he added.

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower: 'Look Through Near-Term Noise, Be Deliberate About The Kinds Of Risk You're Taking, Leverage AI,' Say Experts

Ericsson&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>) on Thursday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45898387/ericsson-and-google-cloud-team-up-to-deliver-carrier-grade-5g-core-as-a-service-built-with-ai-at-t" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced the launch</a> of Ericsson On-Demand, a new solution delivering core network services as a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to communications service providers (CSPs).
The platform is designed with Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, leveraging AI infrastructure and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and is managed end-to-end by Ericsson.
The solution will help CSPs to quickly set up and grow core network services, cut operating costs, and gain business flexibility with a fully managed, cloud-native platform.

Apple&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) senior vice president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, says Siri won't morph into a ChatGPT rival anytime soon, insisting that &#8216;building a chatbot&#8217; was never the company&#8217;s goal.
What Happened: Speaking to Tom's Guide after WWDC 2025, Federighi said that Apple Intelligence aims to "meet you where you are," weaving AI into familiar apps rather than forcing users into a dedicated chat experience to get things done.
Federighi acknowledged conversational bots can act "as a therapist" and help people "brainstorm, do all kinds of things," but added that a chatbot was never the plan.

&#8220;When some of these Siri capabilities I mentioned [last year] didn&#8217;t show up, people kind of went like, well… what happened, Apple? I thought you were going to give us your chatbot. Well, that honestly…was never our goal,&#8221; Federighi explained.

Federighi said the company postponed last year's high-profile Siri revamp after testing showed version 1 "would not meet our customer expectations or Apple standards," a decision he called proof that "there's no need to rush out with the wrong features." Apple executives chose reliability over deadlines, warning it "would've been more disappointing to ship something that didn't hit our quality standard."
Why It Matters: The Apple SVP&#8217;s stance contrasts with OpenAI chief Sam Altman, who recently hailed ChatGPT as a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45809827/sam-altman-says-ai-can-replace-interns-but-gen-z-is-already-treating-it-like-a-work-buddy">life advisor</a>" teens consult before making big decisions.
Instead, Apple is rolling out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45844424/apple-wwdc-2025-ios-26-announced-with-liquid-glass-design-new-apple-intelligence-features-and-more">on-device tools</a> such as Call Screening and Hold for Me in the Phone app, plus Live Translate across Messages, FaceTime and calls, keeping the assistance "contextually relevant" inside each workflow. The same translation engine will appear across macOS Tahoe, iPadOS 26 and watchOS 26 this fall.
That said, Apple's stock slid for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45892008/apples-ai-future-in-question-stock-falls-after-wwdc-2025-event">second straight session</a> as analysts called the WWDC 2025 announcements "incremental" and "too little, too late" on artificial-intelligence progress. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the lack of new AI features <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851232/apples-lack-of-new-ai-features-at-wwdc-is-startling-expert-says">startled</a> him, and Forrester's Dipanjan Chatterjee described the "silence surrounding Siri" as deafening.
Goldman Sachs, however, told clients to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45860365/goldman-sachs-stays-bullish-on-apple-despite-post-wwdc25-stock-dip-sees-25-upside">look past the sell-off</a>, reiterating its Buy rating and $253 price target that suggests roughly 25% upside.

The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) announced on Thursday that they have launched a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint research laboratory</a> dedicated to advancing semiconductor research, education, and talent incubation.
Taiwan Semiconductor and UTokyo <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3243" rel="noreferrer noopener">aim to promote</a> advanced research and development in semiconductor technologies, generate innovative solutions, and cultivate semiconductor talent to create and advance sustainable semiconductor technologies.
Since 2019, UTokyo and Taiwan Semiconductor have collaborated on advanced semiconductor research at the university and company levels.

Taiwan Semiconductor and UTokyo have extended their industry-academia partnership to include semiconductor education and next-generation talent incubation.
In 2023, UTokyo adopted Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s 16nm FinFET process technology for chip design training.
Located on UTokyo&#8217;s Asano campus in the Hongo district, the Lab will be managed by UTokyo faculty and staff and guided by directors from both UTokyo and Taiwan Semiconductor. It will serve as a central hub for a Strategic Collaboration initiative.
The Lab will facilitate research in semiconductor technologies, with an emphasis on practical applications in the future. It will cover areas such as materials, devices, processes, metrology, packaging, and circuit design.
Additionally, the Lab will explore collaboration through activities such as Taiwan Semiconductor-sponsored project calls and internship opportunities.
Taiwan Semiconductor, along with its Japan Design Center, Japan 3DIC R&amp;D Center, and Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM) specialty fab, will leverage the Lab to further its next-generation talent development.
Taiwan Semiconductor gained 24% in the last 12 months due to the AI frenzy prompting it to expand beyond Taiwan. However, the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff policies have hurt semiconductor companies.
However, last week, Taiwan Semiconductor CEO&nbsp;C.C. Wei&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748492/taiwan-semiconductors-japan-chip-factory-faces-delays-while-us-expansion-takes-priority" rel="noreferrer noopener">blamed traffic jams</a> for hampering the progress of its Tokyo signature chipmaking project. He also highlighted to President&nbsp;Donald Trump the difficulties in completing the Arizona project in five years due to the skilled labor crisis.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s plan to build a second factory in Japan&#8217;s Kumamoto Prefecture remains vulnerable to the sudden influx of workers from the contract chipmaker&#8217;s first plant, which is damaging the rural infrastructure.
Interestingly, the chipmaker&#8217;s prioritization of the U.S. expansion reduced the urgency of production in Japan.
Reportedly, Taiwan, Japan, and the U.S. are establishing&nbsp;closer trilateral cooperation&nbsp;in&nbsp;the semiconductor industry, forming a &#8220;semiconductor iron triangle.&#8221;
Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura expects collaboration in advanced chips to help develop 5G, self-driving vehicles, and generative artificial intelligence.
Price Action: TSM stock is trading lower by 0.83% to $212.33 premarket at last check Thursday.

구글의 모회사 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)이 클라우드 사이버보안 스타트업인 위즈(Wiz)를 인수하기 위해 320억 달러를 지불한다. 이는 알파벳으로서는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44376743/google-parent-alphabet-to-acquire-wiz-in-32-billion-deal-its-biggest-bet-yet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">기록적인 거래 규모다.</a>
이번 위즈 거래는 구글 클라우드의 파워 플레이가 아니라 전체 사이버보안 부문을 뒤엎고 클라우드 컴퓨팅, 사이버보안, 대형주 기술에 투자하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETF</a>에 새로운 활력을 불어넣을 수 있다.
이러한 파도 속에서 3가지 ETF가 혜택을 볼 수 있다. 바로 Amplify Cybersecurity ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HACK#NYSE">HACK</a>), First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) 그리고 Global X Cybersecurity ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUG#NASDAQ">BUG</a>)이다.
<ul>
<li>Amplify Cybersecurity ETF: HACK은 나스닥 ISE 사이버보안 셀렉트 지수(Nasdaq ISE Cyber Security Select Index)를 추종하며 25개 종목을 보유한다.. 알파벳은 핵심 종목은 아니지만 사이버보안 분야의 M&amp;A 루머가 ETF 전체에 상승을 이끌 수 있다. HACK의 운용자산은 20억1천만 달러이며 연간 수수료는 0.60%를 부과한다. 흥미로운 점은 <a style="font-size: revert;" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybersecurity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">사이버보안 분야</a>에만 투자하는 최초의 ETF라는 것이다.</li>
<li>First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF: CIBR은 나스닥 CTA 사이버보안 지수(Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index)를 추적하며, 사이버보안 분야의 32개 종목을 보유하고 있다. 운용자산은 80억 3천만 달러이며, 밸류에이션이 상승하고 거래 투기가 증가할 수 있다. 수수료는 연간 0.59%이다.</li>
<li>Global X Cybersecurity ETF: BUG는 사이버보안 솔루션에 대한 수요 증가로 이익을 얻을 수 있는 기업에 투자한다. 네트워크 보안, 클라우드 보호, 사이버 방어 서비스에 중점을 둔 28개의 주식을 보유하며 Indxx 사이버보안 지수(Indxx Cybersecurity Index)를 추종한다. 8억 9,170만 달러의 자산을 관리하고 있는 BUG는 연 0.50%의 수수료를 부과한다. 클라우드 보안의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 이 ETF는 알파벳의 위즈 인수로 업계에 더 많은 관심이 집중되면서 강력한 모멘텀을 경험할 수 있다.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">알파벳이 위즈에 올인한 이유는?</h3>
위즈는 평범한 사이버보안 회사가 아니다. 가장 빠르게 성장하는 클라우드 보안 브랜드 중 하나다다. 2020년에 설립되었으며, 증가하는 사이버 위협에 대처해야 할 필요성이 커짐에 따라 점점 더 중요해지고 있는 클라우드 환경의 취약점을 탐지할 수 있도록 지원한다. 사이버 공격이 점점 더 일반화되고 복잡해지면서 기업들은 클라우드 보안에 대해 그 어느 때보다 많은 관심을 기울이고 있다.
알파벳의 경우, 이번 인수로 보안 제품에 막대한 투자를 해온 아마존의 AWS와 마이크로소프트의 애저라는 강력한 경쟁자들에 맞서 구글 클라우드의 입지를 강화할 수 있게 되었다.
또한 사이버보안 M&amp;A가 <a href="https://www.privateequityinternational.com/cybersecurity-sparks-back-to-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">증가하고 있는 시점</a>에 이루어졌다. 현 정부 들어 규제 환경이 더 우호적으로 바뀔 것으로 예상되는 가운데, 이번 계약은 이 분야에서 더 많은 대형 거래의 시작에 불과할 수 있다.
알파벳의 위즈 인수는 사이버보안 M&amp;A의 새로운 물결의 빙산의 일각이 될 수 있다. 사이버 공간의 위협이 날로 증가함에 따라 클라우드 보안은 대부분의 기업에서 최우선 과제로 남아 있다.
사이버보안이 기술 투자의 주요 트렌드로 부상함에 따라 투자자들은 HACK, CIBR, BUG ETF를 주목하는 것이 현명할 것이다.

특정 종목을 고르고 싶지는 않지만 뜨거운 시장의 혜택을 누리고 싶은 투자자를 위해 사이버 보안 기업에 노출되는 세 가지 ETF를 소개한다.
Global X Cybersecurity ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUG#NASDAQ">BUG</a>)는 8억 6,652만 달러의 자산과 0.50%의 운용보수율을 자랑한다. 인상적인 주식 포트폴리오에는 미국, 이스라엘, 일본 및 한국의 사이버 보안 부문에서 가장 큰 이름을 가진 기업이 포함되어 있다.
상위 종목 10개 중에는 포티넷(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>), 크라우드스트라이크 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), 체크포인트 소프트웨어 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHKP#NASDAQ">CHKP</a>), 지스케일러(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>), 팔로알토 네트웍스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), 사이버아크 소프트웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYBR#NASDAQ">CYBR</a>)가 각각 6.92%, 6.76%, 5.85%, 5.75%, 5.68%, 5.14%의 비중으로 포함된다. 몇 가지 수치를 살펴보면 자기자본이익률(ROE)은 17.80%, 주가수익비율(P/E)은 2023년 48.06배에서 2024년 33.93배로 하락할 것으로 예상되어 사이버 보안의 상승 추세에 투자하고자 하는 투자자들이 관심을 가질 수 있다.
사이버 보안에 초점을 맞춘 "O.G." 펀드인 Amplify Cybersecurity ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HACK#NYSE">HACK</a>)는 사이버 보안 틈새 시장에 뛰어든 최초의 ETF이다. 이 펀드는 나스닥 ISE 사이버 보안 셀렉트 지수(Nasdaq ISE Cyber Security Select Index)에서 투자 전략을 도출하며, 19억 3천만 달러의 자산을 운용하고 있다. 펀드의 81.5%는 대형주(시가총액 100억 달러 이상)에 투자하고 있다.
다양한 사이버 보안 제품을 보유한 브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)은 현재 약 14%로 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 시스코 시스템즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), 팔로알토, 크라우드스트라이크, 포티넷도 상당 부분에 해당한다. 펀드 운용보수율은 0.60%이다.
iShares Cybersecurity and Tech ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHAK#NYSE">IHAK</a>)는 세계 최대 금융 기관 중 하나인 블랙록이 소유하고 있다. 0.47%의 운용보수율은 동종 펀드에 비해 상대적으로 저렴하다. 전적으로 사이버 보안에 초점을 맞춘 펀드는 아니지만, 9억 3,000만 달러의 운용자산을 보유한 이 펀드에는 사이버아크, 포티넷, 크라우드스트라이크, 체크포인트, 팔로알토와 같은 보안 업체에 대한 상당한 투자가 포함되어 있다. 이 펀드는 사이버 보안 회사로 구성된 NYSE 팩트셋 글로벌 사이버 보안 지수(NYSE FactSet Global Cyber Security Index)를 반영한다.
<h3>사이버 보안에 대한 투자가 중요한 이유</h3>
생성형 인공지능(AI) 도구와 플랫폼의 수가 증가함에 따라 정보 기술 재창조의 문이 열리고 있다. 동시에 사이버 범죄자들도 이와 같은 업그레이드된 기술을 도입하여 공격의 수위를 높이고 있다.
지난 5월, FBI는 공격자들이 피싱 수법을 업그레이드하기 위해 AI 도구를 사용하고 있다고 경고했다. FBI 특수 담당 요원 로버트 트립은 다음과 같이 말했다. &#8220;기술이 계속 발전함에 따라 사이버 범죄자들의 전술도 진화하고 있다. 공격자들은 AI를 활용하여 매우 설득력 있는 음성 또는 비디오 메시지와 이메일을 제작하여 개인과 기업 모두를 대상으로 사기 수법을 사용하고 있다.&#8221;
지난 5월 언론에 보낸 메모의 <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/sanfrancisco/news/fbi-warns-of-increasing-threat-of-cyber-criminals-utilizing-artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">일부를 발췌한 내용에 따르면</a> "이러한 정교한 수법은 엄청난 금전적 손실, 평판 손상, 민감한 데이터의 유출을 초래할 수 있다.&#8221;
또한 스태티스타(Statista)는 2024년부터 2029년까지 전 세계 &#8216;사이버 범죄 예상 비용&#8217;이 지속적으로 증가하고, 2029년에는 6조 4,000억 달러(69.41%) 증가한 15조 6,300억 달러에 달할 것으로 <a href="https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1280009/cost-cybercrime-worldwide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상하고 있다.</a>
주요 인프라, 정부 데이터, 교육, 개인 데이터가 사이버 범죄의 표적이 되면서 사이버 보안에 대한 투자는 시대적 요구가 되었으며, 이 시장의 성장 잠재력은 기하급수적으로 커지고 있다.

중국 정부의 지원을 받는 해커들이 미국의 중요한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/infrastructure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인프라</a>에 &#8216;대혼란&#8217;을 일으킬 수 있는 지능형 공격을 조율하고 있다고 미국 연방수사국(FBI) 국장인 크리스토퍼 레이(Christopher Wray)가 밝혔다.
그는 목요일 내슈빌에서 열린 현대 분쟁에 관한 서밋(Summit on Modern Conflict)에서 참석자들에게 &#8220;수처리 시설과 에너지 그리드부터 교통 및 정보 기술에 이르기까지 모든 것이 우리 사회의 중추를 형성한다&#8221;고 <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/speeches/director-wrays-remarks-at-the-vanderbilt-summit-on-modern-conflict-and-emerging-threats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">말했다</a>.
그런 것들이 공격을 받으면 어떻게 될까? 레이는 그러한 시나리오가 언제든지 발생할 수 있다고 경고했다.
그는 &#8220;중국은 &#8216;그냥&#8217; 터무니없는 절도 캠페인 그 이상을 위해 대규모 해킹 기업(50대 1)을 포지셔닝하고 있다&#8221;고 덧붙였다. &#8220;그것은 그 질량과 숫자를 사용하여 선택한 시간에 우리의 중요한 인프라에 물리적으로 큰 피해를 입힐 수 있는 능력을 스스로 부여하는 것이다.&#8221;
레이는 민간 기업들에게 &#8220;경계를 표명&#8221;하고 &#8220;적들이 우리를 상대로 무엇을 하고 있거나 무엇을 준비하고 있는지에 대한 중요한 정보를 생성하는 중앙 방어 역할&#8221;을 수행할 것을 촉구했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">주목해야 할 3개의 OT 스타트업</h3>
웨드부시의 애널리스트 타즈 코우잘기(Taz Koujalgi)에 따르면 레이의 발언은 &#8220;전혀 과장적이지 않다&#8221;. 이는 OT(운영 기술, operational technology) 전문가들의 중요성이 커지고 있음을 강조한다.
아래 3개 기업들을 살펴보자:
<ul>
<li>드라고스(Dragos Inc.)는 &#8216;OT 분야의 선도적인 개척자 중 하나&#8217;라고 코우잘기가 Benzinga에게 말했다. 메릴랜드 주 하노버에 본사를 둔 이 회사는 지금까지 벤처 캐피털로 약 4억 4천만 달러를 모았다.</li>
<li>현재까지 6억 3,500만 달러 이상의 자금을 조달한 뉴욕 소재 클래로티(Claroty)는 지난달 추가로 1억 달러의 지원을 <a href="https://claroty.com/press-releases/claroty-secures-usd100-million-in-strategic-growth-financing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">확보</a>했다.</li>
<li>그리고 샌프란시스코에 본사를 둔 노조미 네트웍스(Nozomi Networks)도 지난달 신규 자금 1억 달러를 확보해 총 2억 6천만 달러가 넘었다.</li>
</ul>
오늘날 대부분의 &#8220;보안 지출&#8221;은 전통적인 IT 인프라 공간에서 발생한다고 코우잘기가 말했다. &#8220;그러나 실제 기반 시설인 파이프라인, 전력망 및 수처리 공장은 투자 및 보안 지출 측면에서 상당히 뒤처져 있다.&#8221;
그리고 벤처 지원이 전반적으로 부족하다는 점을 고려하면 OT 하위 부문에서 자본을 조달하는 것은 특히 어렵다.
또 다른 어려움은 이러한 유형의 기반 시설 공격이 &#8220;꽤 새로운&#8221; 현상이며 &#8220;빠르게 변화하고 있다&#8221;는 점이다.
매일 새로운 소프트웨어가 만들어지고 있으며 악의적인 행위자들이 일상적으로 해당 소프트웨어에서 허점을 발견함에 따라 5년 전의 코드는 쓸모 없게 될 위험에 처해 있다고 코우잘기가 설명했다.
말하자면, &#8220;나쁜 놈들의 속도에 맞추기가 어렵다&#8221;는 것이다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">나쁜 놈들은 누구인가?</h3>
우리는 이미 2023년에 마이크로소프트 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)와 서방 정보 기관들의 보안 분석가들이 &#8216;볼트 타이푼'(Volt Typhoon)&#8216;으로 알려진 국가 후원의 중국 해킹 그룹이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/05/32573948/microsoft-blames-chinese-hackers-for-spying-on-critical-american-infrastructure-and-guam">다양한 미국의 핵심 기반 시설 기관을 스파이했다는 사실</a>을 밝혀냈다는 것을 알고있다.
중국과 미국은 일상적으로 서로를 감시하고 있다. 그러나 분석가들은 이번 사건이 미국의 중요 인프라에 대한 중국의 가장 광범위한 사이버 스파이 활동 중 하나였다고 말한다.
중국은 지난 3월 이러한 사이버 공격 주장을 &#8216;순수한 정치적 책략&#8217;이라고 <a href="https://www.scmp.com/video/china/3256907/china-denies-accusations-state-sponsored-hacking-us-uk-and-new-zealand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">일축</a>했다.
중국 외교부의 린 지안 대변인은 &#8220;미국이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/22/09/28959768/china-claims-us-took-control-of-telecom-network-post-space-research-university-hack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">중국에 대한 자체 사이버 공격</a>을 그만두도록 요청한다&#8221;고 말했다.
하지만 레이가 말한 대로, 볼트 타이푼은 &#8220;지속적인 PRC 접근 &#8230; 그들은 우리 네트워크 안에 숨어들어 &#8216;리빙 오프 더 랜드(living-off-the-land)&#8217;라고 알려진 전술을 사용했다. &#8212; 즉, 피해자 네트워크에 이미 존재하는 내장 도구를 악용하여 악의적인 작업을 수행했다. 네트워크 방어자가 사용되고 있을 것으로 예상하는 도구들이기 때문에 의심을 불러일으키지 않는다. 동시에 그들은 보트넷을 운영하여 그들의 악의적인 활동과 그것이 중국에서 온 것임을 더욱 숨기고 있었다. 이 모든 것은 중국 정부에게 치명적인 타격을 가할 수 있는 적절한 순간을 기다릴 능력을 부여하기 위한 목표로 이루어졌다.&#8221;
&#x2A;&#x2A; 참고: living-off-the-land란 자급자족식 공격으로 타깃 시스템에 미리 설치되어 있는 도구를 활용하여 공격을 하는 행위.
그리고 그것은 단지 중국뿐만 아니다. 2021년에 콜로니얼 파이프라인(Colonial Pipeline)에 대한 사이버 공격의 책임이 있는 다크사이드(DarkSide)라는 해커 그룹도 있었고, 이로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/05/21026280/colonial-pipeline-hackers-stole-data-on-thursday-ahead-of-shutdown-bloomberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">완전한 폐쇄</a>가 발생했다.
같은 해, 삼엄한 경비를 받고 있는 이란의 나탄즈(Natanz) 공장에 사이버 공격이 발생했다. 이번 중단으로 인해 테헤란의 핵 프로그램이 9개월 지연된 것으로 알려졌다. 미국과 이스라엘 모두 사보타주 캠페인으로 여겨지는 행위에 관여했다는 사실을 인정하지 않았다.
