The Ongoing Evolution of Cyber Threats

About This Episode

Five Questions Shaping Today's Cyber Fight

National security leaders are watching AI, autonomous drones, and space operations — but cyber is the connective tissue running through all of it. This episode works through the questions the panel thinks matter most, and the ones not getting the attention they deserve.

01

Is the adversary already inside?

Why cyber defense may need to pivot from stopping break-ins to finding, containing, and expelling attackers who are already in the system.

02

How resilient is America's cyber infrastructure?

Where defenses are genuinely stronger — and where the contractor / cloud / telecom / industrial-systems chain still exposes major risk.

03

Is cyber defense keeping pace with multi-domain warfare?

What happens when cyberattacks are stacked with EW, jamming, drones, and precision weapons across air, land, maritime, and space simultaneously.

04

Does offensive cyber have a capacity problem?

The “magazine depth” question — should high-value cyber accesses be managed the way we manage low-density / high-demand weapons in a protracted conflict?

05

How fundamentally is AI changing cyber operations?

AI compresses attack timelines and lets operations scale in ways defenders aren’t built for. What that means for the future of offense, defense, and national security.

★ Don’t miss the closeEach panelist will name the cyber threat they think is not getting enough attention.

Cybersecurity is national security. And good cybersecurity requires a whole-of-nation — in fact, a whole-of-society — approach.

We need to make a transition now as a cyber community. Instead of asking if we're under attack, we should be asking: what is the adversary preparing to do?
