Geopolitics and Cyber Risk in 2024 and Beyond
summary
Russia treats cyber as information warfare constrained today by focus on Ukraine, a mass exodus of talent (0.5–1.0M people left, roughly 10% of IT labor), and dependence on Western hardware (e.g., Storm tooling on Nokia/Cisco), so expect telecom and energy targeting when those constraints ease. China prioritizes long-term espionage, hoards encrypted collections and now uses gen AI to digest exfiltrated data. Iran favors deniable proxies and impersonation. Ransomware groups morph into state tools; elections face deepfakes and influence operations.
