Russian Cyberwarfare: Unpacking the Kremlin’s Capabilities

September 8, 2022 at 10:00 am to 11:00 am

Event Overview

Before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin, Russian security agencies, and their criminal networks used cyber operations to exploit vulnerabilities.

Long before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin, Russian security agencies, and their criminal networks had been successfully using complex cyber operations to exploit systemic vulnerabilities both in the West and closer to home for their own gain. However, the absence of significant cyberattacks in Ukraine has raised questions about how well we really understand how Russia’s cyber forces are organized. How do we unpack the complex web of Russian actors? What steps can the West take to mitigate future cyberattacks?
