REPORT LAUNCH: CONFRONTING RUSSIA’S CYBER POWER - Join the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and Cyber Statecraft Initiative for a hybrid event launching the newest report in the Eurasia Center’s pathbreaking Russia Tomorrow series on Moscow’s cyber warfare capabilities and lessons learned from their execution in Russia’s war in Ukraine.

In the newest Russia Tomorrow report, Confronting Russia’s cyber power: Reassessing assumptions, sizing up the threat, and building a proactive response, author Justin Sherman, nonresident fellow at the Cyber Statecraft Initiative, assesses the expectations-versus-reality of Russia’s wartime cyber operations. Sherman also dives into the broader Russian cyber web (including state agencies, patriotic hackers, state-coerced criminals, and Russian president Vladimir Putin’s “adhocrats”), and where Russian cyber and information meddling mesh with the Kremlin’s geopolitical objectives.

Brian Whitmore, nonresident senior fellow at the Eurasia Center, moderates a hybrid panel discussion featuring cyber and foreign policy experts on the above and more.
