Hacking for Ukraine, Supply Chain Risk and Cyber Moonshots

<p><strong>Why you should listen:</strong></p><p>* Understand what's at stake as cyber warriors do battle on both sides of the the Ukraine War. </p><p>* Lean about some potential consequences of a destructive hack in Europe and whether that could even draw NATO into the war.</p><p>* Hear what Washington is doing to obtain better insights and actionable intelligence that could improve cybersecurity defenses.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Key quotes:</strong></p><p>*"Cybersecurity generally is not a good state of affairs. So I think we are going to see some regulatory changes that make it much harder for certain classes of companies to operate because they've grown up around this inefficient system."<br />*"The physical military invasion [into Ukraine] has not necessitated sophisticated cyber support from the Russians. What's been more important in the information space is misinformation [and] disinformation."<br />* "You've got a lot of [outside hackers] tripping over systems to try to find some kind of way in to do something. And the challenge is that's not really strategic. You don't have any of these groups plugged into the target selection and intelligence collection processes that Western agencies have."</p><p><br /><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/" target="_blank">* https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/programs/scowcroft-center-for-strategy-and-security/cyber-statecraft-initiative/" target="_blank">* https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/programs/scowcroft-center-for-strategy-and-security/cyber-statecraft-initiative/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/thecybermoonshot/" target="_blank">* https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/thecybermoonshot/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.synack.com/" target="_blank">* https://www.synack.com/</a></p>
