from Special Editions · host N2K Networks

In this special edition of CyberWire Daily’s 10th anniversary series, N2K CyberWire's Maria Varmazis and Dave Bittner discuss cybersecurity geopolitics and warfare that have been in the news over the past 10 years. Our conversation treks around the globe beginning with the supply chain malware from the destructive NotPetya campaign out of Russia, then Maria and Dave highlight:  Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine pairing cybersecurity and kinetic war the use of inexpensive technology in warfare in Iran shifts of nation-state strategies by China with VoltTyphoon and SaltTyphoon intrusions in critical sectors.  They touch on the movement toward zero trust architecture and the rise and proliferation of ransomware. And, what's a conversation between Maria and Dave without a mention of AI and the future? Join us as we reflect on the escalation from election interference and disruption, to espionage and ransomware as national security crises, to integration in kinetic war, and now expansion into space, with AI-driven defenses and NATO codifying cyber as a collective defense domain.
