The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is transforming cyber warfare, as highlighted in a recent article by Luke Rodeheffer in the Eurasia Daily Monitor. Both nations are ramping up cyberattacks that target infrastructure and civilian lives, blurring the lines between state and non-state actors. You can read the article from here: https://lnkd.in/gC6nu3hs In my most recent blog post, I discussed how we are at a turning point for cyber norms, with the war significantly increasing destructive cyberattacks. - https://lnkd.in/erqrgUQX I believe the incidents covered in Rodeheffer's article strongly underscore these points. For example, Ukraine's call center fraud operations against Russia, reflect the "Cult of the Offensive" scenario I described, where offensive cyber operations thrive in the absence of effective norms and sanctions. Just a few months ago, I published an e-book about Geopolitical Cyber Threat Intelligence, designed to help CTI analysts understand how cyber capabilities are used in broader geopolitical objectives. It's essential reading for anyone interested in analyzing cyber risks in the context of geopolitics. If you haven't bought the book yet, now's your chance! 👉📘🌍 https://lnkd.in/g-i4aqg8 #PredictiveDefense #GeopoliticalRisk #CyberThreatIntelligence #IntelligenceAnalysis #ThreatIntelligence #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #Geopolitics

🌍 Geopolitical cyber warfare is escalating! As cyber threats become more sophisticated and intertwined with global conflicts, it's crucial for organizations to stay vigilant and protected. Understanding the dynamics of these digital battles can help in developing better defense strategies. 🔍 Stay informed and secure in this evolving landscape. #CyberSecurity #Geopolitics #CyberWarfare #DigitalDefense

In the face of dynamic changes in the realm of geopolitics and technology, it is becoming critical to focus on strategies to secure data stability and protection. But how to be prepared for global cyber threats from a national perspective? How to cooperate with #European_Union and #NATO? How to leverage emerging technologies such as #AI or #Quantum_computing to build cyber resilience?   🌟 On October 21st, during the #Total_Security congress, I will have the pleasure of discussing cyber resilience, not only from an economic standpoint but, above all, from strategic and national perspectives. Without attention to security and innovation as well as broad cooperation we will not be able to guarantee the technological sovereignty of the state.   📆 The upcoming Congress will be an excellent opportunity to analyze effective security strategies. The project foresees the integration of various sectors – from politics and technology to military and local governments.   👉 Discover the agenda: https://lnkd.in/eCuG4HPV   #EY_Poland #Critical_Infrastructure #Defence #cybersecurity #technology #security

🌍💻 **The Geopolitical Side of Cybersecurity** 💻🌍 Cybersecurity isn't just a personal or business matter—it's a global issue that impacts all of us. 🌐 From safeguarding critical infrastructure to preventing cyber warfare, the digital battlefield is everywhere. 🛡️ Key Facts: Nation-states use cyberattacks to disrupt power grids, steal intellectual property, and even target transportation systems. The 2015 Ukraine power grid attack showed how devastating this can be. 🤝 Why Cybersecurity Diplomacy Matters: - Prevent Escalation: Establishing global norms avoids conflicts. - Accountability: Holding bad actors responsible reduces harmful activity. - Collaboration: Cyber threats cross borders—so must our solutions! Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. By working together, we can create a safer, more secure digital world. 🌐✨ #Cybersecurity #GlobalIssues #CyberWarfare #DigitalSafety #TechDiplomacy#Mazteck

The intersection of geopolitics and cybersecurity is complex and evolving. Today, businesses and governments must navigate a web of geopolitical risks and cyber threats – and build programs that protect the stability and trust in our global systems. This is a super fascinating topic that my latest Afternoon Cyber Tea guest Jason Healey and I discuss in today’s episode. Jason is a cyber historian who quite literally wrote the book on cyber conflict, “A Fierce Domain: Conflict in Cyberspace, 1986 to 2012.” On the episode, Jason and I talk about digital diplomacy, the role alliances play in building durable cyber defenses, and a concept Jason calls ‘soft power’ in cyber. This is truly a cannot-miss episode. https://lnkd.in/gURyddJC #Cybersecurity #GeopoliticalRisk #AI
