Podcasts about cyber power

Over the last week the UK has been rocked by allegations that China was responsible for two cyber attacks in recent years – one on the Electoral Commission, where hackers successfully accessed the open register, which has the details of 40 million voters; and a set of attempts to access the emails of a number of China critics within parliament. So what do we know about China's cyber capabilities? What are its goals? And now that the UK knows about these attacks, what should we be doing? Joining Cindy Yu on the podcast today is Nigel Inkster, senior advisor for cyber security and China at the think tank IISS, formerly director of operations and intelligence at MI6, and author of China's Cyber Power, a 2016 book on precisely this question. You can also join Cindy Yu at The Spectator's Chinese wine lunch on June 14th. To find out more and buy tickets, visit spectator.co.uk/chinesewine.

International tensions, proliferating security threats and talk of global conflict have become more common in recent years after decades of relative stability following the end of the Cold War. The rise of a more assertive China and intensifying cyber security threats are among two of the issues Nigel Inkster, formerly of MI6, has highlighted in his recent writings. In his presentation to the IIEA, he focuses on these matters along with the wider geopolitical climate. About the Speaker: Nigel Inkster CMG is Senior Advisor at the International Institute for Strategic Studies and a Director of Geopolitical and Intelligence Analysis at Enodo Economics. Previously, he served as Director of Operations and Intelligence for MI6 and served on the Board of MI6 for seven years. In 2017, Inkster was appointed to the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace, participating in the drafting of its eight norms related to non-aggression in cyberspace. The author of The Great Decoupling: China, America and the Struggle for Technological Supremacy and China's Cyber Power, his lifelong fascination with China started when he studied the language and culture at Oxford.

Episode 34 of the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli Deputy National Security Advisor, and Benjamin Anthony, Co-Founder & CEO of the Miryam Institute. In this episode, Chuck and Benjamin discuss the pros and cons of a possible US-Israeli defense treaty, a potential side product of the US-Israeli-Saudi normalization deal now under discussion. Chuck describes the conditions under which a treaty such as this would be favorable for Israel, although he is in a minority view among Israeli defense officials, Benjamin leans more towards the majority view, raising concerns about the future deployment of IDF forces abroad. They also briefly touch on the assassination of the head of the Russian Wagner Force, Yevgeny Prigozhin and the first Republican presidential debate. Benjamin expresses concern over GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's call for ending military aid to Israel when the current 10-year package expires in 2028. Chuck shares his deep concern, believing that the relationship with the US is critical to Israel's national security. The two disagree on the background to statements such as Ramaswamy's and similar ones by Democratic candidates. Benjamin attributes this primarily to anti-Semitism, particularly on campus.

Join our host, Diva Joshi, and current Georgetown professor David Fahrenkrug (and former fighter pilot) for a discussion on cyber power.

On this week's Cyber Report, sponsored by Fortress Information Security, Dr. Greg Austin who heads the Cyber Power and Future Conflict program at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Singapore, discusses Russia's cyber capabilities, Moscow's approach to cyber, US and allied offensive and defensive cyber abilities, how brain drain will undermine Russian information and communications technology, Western efforts to live without Russian labor and Russia's ability to substitute for banned Western technologies, cyber lessons from the Ukraine War, what China is learning from international sanctions on Russia and how Beijing is working hard to avoid running afoul of US export law with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.

The Energizer case focusing on an article's pre-determined use when determining origin has vexed numerous importers trying to avoid China section 301 tariffs. The recent Cyber Power decision may indicate that the courts are willing to take a broader view on origin, more aligned with commercial reality.

The complexities of and losses from a shoddily created cyberspace substrate continue to hollow the economies and national power of consolidated democracies.  As China rises as a strategically focused and digitally aggressive authoritarian giant, it is critical that democratic leaders both understand the reality they face and how an institutional alternative may be created to avoid being weak cyber powers in the future. This presentation offers two models: the ‘Cybered Conflict' model to lay the foundation explanation for the weakness in national cyber power of democracies, and the ‘Cyber Operational Resilience Alliance (CORA) model to explain how this existentially threatening trend may be turned around through allied action to jointly ensure cyber resilience. Finally the talk will outline very briefly how the CORA model may be used analytically to improve the cyber resilience alliance potential of national cyber strategies, and to identify organizations capable of contributing to more robust collective cyber defenses across sectors and allied democratic nations. About the speaker: With engineering, economics, and comparative complex organization theory/political science degrees, Dr. Chris C. Demchak is the RDML Grace M. Hopper Professor of Cyber Security and a member of the Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute, U.S. Naval War College. In her research on cyberspace as a globally shared insecure complex ‘substrate', Demchak takes a systemic approach to emergent structures, comparative institutional evolution, adversaries' use of systemic cybered tools, virtual worlds/gaming for operationalized organizational learning, and designing systemic resilience against imposed surprise.

First, we talk to Aashish Aryan about why the government of India has decided to withdraw the 'safe harbour' protection from the microblogging platform, Twitter. Next, Indian Express' Shubhajit Roy joins the show to discuss a recent report that assessed the cyber capabilities of 15 countries including India. (13:20) And finally, we go over the details of Supreme Court's dismissal of an appeal against Delhi HC's order that allowed construction the Central Vista project to carry on. (20:14)

In this episode, Sounds Strategic host Meia Nouwens is joined by Greg Austin, Senior Fellow for Cyber, Space and Future Conflict, and Franz-Stefan Gady, Research Fellow for Cyber, Space and Future Conflict, to discuss the findings of a new IISS report on cyber capabilities and national power. A new report by the IISS has assessed the cyber power of 15 states, placing them into three tiers of capability. Following the launch of this major two-year study, Meia, Greg and Franz-Stefan discuss how to define and measure cyber power and who comes out on top.Meia, Greg and Franz-Stefan discuss the categories used to assess each country's cyber capabilities in the report, including strategy and doctrine, governance, cyber-intelligence capability, cyber security and resilience, global leadership and offensive cyber capability. According to the qualitative framework developed by IISS researchers, the United States is the only country with world-leading strengths in all categories, with China placed in the second tier of cyber powers. Meia, Greg and Franz-Stefan go on to discuss the role of political culture, organisational relationships and governance models in shaping the relationship between cyber capabilities and how they are used by a state actor on the international stage, what we know about the operational activities of the US, Russia and China, how much cyber industrial strength matters, the impact of political stability and instability on the development of cyber capabilities and how middle powers can compete with great powers in cyberspace.We hope you enjoy listening to the episode.

In their first joint interview, the director of the UK spy agency GCHQ and the top general in charge of cyber operations for the military talk about how the UK is using the power of cyber to push back against adversaries with the creation of a whole new National Cyber Force.Jeremy Fleming and General Sir Patrick Sanders also reveal new details about how the UK used offensive cyber in the fight against Islamic State, attacking the terrorist group's ability to fly drones, use their mobile phones and spread online propaganda.We also hear from a woman who was once described as the UK's best offensive cyber spy.Sally Walker has since left GCHQ and says she is choosing to speak out – now she's once again a member of the public – to help generate a wider debate about the cyber grey zone.Interviews:Jeremy Fleming, director of GCHQGeneral Sir Patrick Sanders, commander of Strategic CommandSally Walker, cyber expertTobias Elwood, Conservative MP, chair of the defence select committee and former foreign officer and defence ministerCredits:Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris ScottProduction support from Michael GreenfieldThe head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris

States, criminals and terrorists all use cyber to attack each other in the grey zone. It puts anyone with a computer in the firing line, but also means that anyone who understands computers has the ability to fight back.This episode explores a range of cyber threats from espionage up to attacks that cause physical harm, such as by targeting hospitals or electricity supplies.Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes also speaks to a young computer expert called Marcus Hutchins who helped to stop one of the worst known cyber attacks to hit the UK.The National Health Service was one of the main victims of the May 2017 WannaCry attack, blamed on North Korea. Pyongyang has denied involvement.Interviews:Ciaran Martin, former chief executive of the National Cyber Security CentrePaul Chichester, director of operations at the National Cyber Security CentreMarietje Schaake, international director of policy at Stanford's Cyber Policy CentreHarold Thimbleby, professor of computer science at Swansea UniversityMarcus Hutchins, computer security expertCredits:Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris ScottProduction support from Sophia McBride and Michael GreenfieldThe head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris

In this episode, we talk to Julia Voo, one of the authors of the newly published National Cyber Power Index 2020. Which country is the most powerful in cyberspace? The NCPI takes a "whole of country" approach to measuring cyber power, ranking 30 countries in the context of seven national objectives. Voo is a Cyber Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School. She was the closing keynote at the SecureWorld Detroit-Toronto-Cincinnati virtual conference, and this is an excerpt from her presentation and fireside chat.

Tim Watts MP, Shadow Assistant Minister for Communications & Cyber Security, comments on the Cyber Power Index released by Harvard’s Belfer Center which shows Australia is ranked 8th for intent but 16th for capability overall. According to Tim, the report highlights significant gaps in Australia’s capabilities on a range of objectives including offence and commercialisation and is further confirmation the Morrison Government has over-promised and never delivered on almost every metric when it comes to Australia’s cyber security capabilities. We also discuss the contrasts of existing Federal Government structure for cyber versus the shadow portfolio structure and observations on the Australian Cyber Security Strategy and Cybersecurity for IoT Devices Code of Practice. In terms of funding, an alternative Labour Government is continuing to develop its policy framework for the 2022 election. Recorded 14 September 2020. Belfer Center report: https://www.belfercenter.org/sites/default/files/2020-09/NCPI_2020.pdf National Cyber Resilience discussion paper: https://www.timwatts.net.au/news/discussion-papers/national-cyber-resilience-is-australia-ready-for-a-computer-covid-19/ In his release, Tim Watts MP stated: The Morrison Government’s report card on cyber is in – showing Australia is ranked 8th for cyber intent but 16th for actual capability – behind Estonia, Israel, and Malaysia. The newly-released analysis is done by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center in its National Cyber Power Index 2020. Under the Morrison Government, Australia has dropped from 3rd in a 2011 ranking to 10th overall in this study. This is yet another example of the Morrison Government’s approach of rhetoric over action and their failure to prioritise cyber at both an industry and government level. According to the report, the biggest gap between intent and capability is in our offence, with Australia placing 10th in intent yet only 24th in capability – particularly lagging in the capability of our domestic industry to realise high-tech export opportunities. Australia ranks 12th for the commercialisation of cyber security capability compared to 8th on intent which is particular concerning given the omission of any objectives or initiatives to support the Australian cyber security industry in the Government’s delayed 2020 Cyber Security Strategy, This report is further confirmation the Morrison Government has overpromised and never delivered on almost every metric when it comes to Australia’s cyber security capabilities. PROFILE Tim Watts is the Federal Labor Member for Gellibrand. Tim has worked in the IT and telecommunications sector for the better part of a decade, as a Senior Manager at Telstra and a Solicitor at Mallesons Stephen Jaques. He has a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) from Bond University, Master of Public Policy from Monash University and Master of Politics and Communication from the London School of Economics. Since being elected, Tim has been an active advocate on issues ranging from family violence, Australian aid, cyber security, refugee and asylum policy, cycling and Australia's engagement with Asia. While Tim’s ancestors arrived in Australia in the 1840s, his wife arrived in Australia from Hong Kong in the 1980s. In this way, Tim’s children are at once both second and sixth generation Australians. As a result, Tim is passionate about protecting the harmonious multicultural society in which we live and understands the specific needs of our multicultural communities.

Brandon Valeriano examines cyber strategies in their varying forms through quantitative analysis and questions their level of impact This project examines the changing character of cyber strategies in the digital domain. We develop a theory that cyber operations are a form of covert coercion typically seeking to send ambiguous signals or demonstrate resolve. Cyber Coercion from this perspective is neither as revolutionary nor as novel as it seems when evaluated with evidence. We examine cyber strategies in their varying forms through quantitative analysis, finding that cyber disruptions, short-term and long-term espionage, and degradation operations all usually fail to produce political concessions. When states do compel a rival, which is measured as a change in behaviour in the target that is strategically advantageous to the initiator, the cyber operation tends to occur alongside more traditional coercive instruments such as diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and military threats and displays. Our findings suggest that before we develop recommendations for sound foreign policy responses to state-backed cyber intrusions or craft international frameworks that constrain the proliferation of politically-motivated malware, we should theoretically and empirically investigate cyber strategies and their efficacy. Brandon Valeriano is the Donald Bren Chair of Armed Conflict at the Marine Corps University. He has published five books and dozens of articles. His two most recent books are Cyber War versus Cyber Reality (2015) and Cyber Strategy (2018), both with Oxford University Press. Ongoing research explores cyber coercion, biological examinations of cyber threat, repression in cyberspace, and the influence of video games on foreign policy outlooks.

Description Cyber operations are becoming increasingly important in contemporary statecraft, as they provide new means through which states may threaten or act against one another. The cases of Estonia, Saudi Aradia, Iran, and the 2016 US Presidential elections demonstrate that cyber operations can be used to compromise critical infrastructure, damage economies, undermine democracy, and can even amount to formal state conflict. However, according to Dr. Brandon Valeriano, "cyberconflict", defined as the use of computational means for malicious or destructive purposes in order to influence diplomatic or military interactions, has not necessarily opened a door to new conflicts in the international system. His research also provides that cyberconflict is neither as frequent or damaging as other forms of conflict. How does cyberconflict fit into the continuation of international rivalries and conflicts today? In this edition of the War Studies Podcast, we are going to dive into the domain of Cyberconflict with Dr. Brandon Valeriano, the Donald Ben Chair of Armed Politics at the Marine Corps University, and Dr. Tim Stevens, Lecturer in Global Security in the Dept. of War Studies and Convenor of the Cyber Security Research Group. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, check out our recording of Dr. Brandon Valeriano's lecture, "Cyber Strategy: The Evolution of Cyber Power and Coercion."

Speaker: Dr Brandon Valeriano, Donald Bren Chair of Armed Politics, Marine Corps University Chair: Dr Tim Stevens, Lecturer in Global Security and Convenor, Cyber Security Research Group Description: Dr Valeriano will discuss the development of strategy in the cyber domain, particularly the coercive potential of cyber operations, which are neither as novel nor as effective as often claimed. His research suggests that cyber operations usually fail to produce political concessions. When states achieve strategic outcomes through cyber means, these operations occur alongside traditional coercive instruments like diplomacy, sanctions and military threats. This suggests that foreign policy and diplomacy aimed at countering strategic cyber threats needs to take proper account of the coercive aspects of cyber operations, rather than being developed in a strategic vacuum. Biography: Brandon Valeriano is the Donald Bren Chair of Armed Politics at the Marine Corps University. He has published widely on cybersecurity and statecraft, including Cyber War versus Cyber Reality (2015) and Cyber Strategy (2018), both with Oxford University Press. Dr. Valeriano is Cyber Security Senior Fellow at the Niskanen Center and Senior (Non-resident) Fellow at the Atlantic Council. ____________________ Hosted by the Cyber Security Research Group.

Cyber Power talks to us about their products and how they are different from other power companies.

Over the past decade, the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) has risen to forefront of cybersecurity threats. APTs are a major contributor to the billions of dollars lost by corporations around the world annually. The threat is significant enough that the Navy Cyber Power 2020 plan identified them as a “must mitigate” threat in order to ensure the security of its warfighting network. This presentation and its related research applies the science of Natural Language Processing Open Source Intelligence in order to build an open source Ontology in the APT domain.

Though cyber-security seems to be a the nation's forefront, it's cyber-power that could portend the true dominant players in global and economic affairs for decades. Will the two issues morph into one?
