Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enOur main story this week is the treason case against Ilya Sachkov, the 35-year-old CEO of the cybersecurity firm Group-IB. On Wednesday morning, September 29, hours after officials raided the company's Moscow office, a local court jailed Sachkov for the next two months, pending trial. That will likely be extended several times, as the authorities collect more evidence. The Naked Pravda explores why Sachkov may have been arrested and asks what his case means for Russia's cybersecurity industry and Moscow's troubled cooperation with the United States against cybercrime.

The federal government has lost a lot of its cybersecurity talent to the private sector. They've departed The Department of Homeland Security and the White House, and there's no more office of the chief information security officer.

Nadim offers a historic perspective on sectarianism and secularism, and comes to conclusions rather unique among academics focusing on the region. His case for the sectarian power-sharing order Lebanon inherited is a must-listen-to, as well as his adamant opposition to civil marriage. Nadim is a Chatham House Associate Fellow and previously served as the director of Tufts University / Fletcher School's Fares Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies.

Energy Vista: A Podcast on Energy Issues, Professional and Personal Trajectories
Leslie Palti-Guzman exchanges with Dr. Kelly Sims Gallagher, a Tufts University Fletcher School professor and former US climate policymaker, on her new book Titans of Climate. They chat about the reasons that motivated her and her co-author to write the book and the process of writing it. Kelly tells us about China's post-Paris agreement climate actions and China's progress on being a responsible stakeholder. They talk about energy investments within China's Belt and Road initiative and Beijing's ambition to make it greener, as well as US-led Indo-Pacific strategy. In terms of personal trajectory, Kelly explains how it is more challenging for a woman to become a professor with tenure, and how she embraced the opportunity to work for the government--despite feeling guilty for her family at first.

The conversation you're about to hear is with someone I have known for about 40 years. US Army Colonel Michael Sullivan and I became friends in pre-school. While life took us on different paths, I knew when I launched the podcast last year, he was a person I had to have on as a guest. In our conversation, Colonel Sullivan (who prefers to be called ‘Sully') shares his early childhood fascination with the US Military Academy at West Point, which ultimately solidified his path to service. We talk about internal vs. external motivation and we discuss the importance of lacrosse early in is life which led to him to play Division I lacrosse for West Point. He also talks about the most important lessons he learned during his time as a Cadet. We discuss his military service which has had him deployed to some of the most challenging places on the planet. Sully shares insights he has gained by leading huge groups of soldiers, as well as the work he does to continuously improve himself. If that's not enough, Sully recently completed his PhD at Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. In our conversation we cover the topics of adversity, discomfort, leadership, stoicism, and the importance of hitting rock bottom. (NOTE: I refer to Colonel Sullivan throughout this conversation as 'Lt Colonel'. As you'll hear in the interview, despite his achievements, he is super humble, and does not correct me. But I just need to go on record, Sully is in fact a Colonel, so I apologize to Colonel Sullivan for my error during the show.) www.thebravestlife.com/034 www.imgreaterthan.com www.shootoutforsoldiers.com
