Cybersecurity Amid Global Instability
Course
Jeroen Van Eyck, Holger Spohn, Vas Nevjadomskis, Donal O'Brien and Pieter Van Goethem discuss nation-state tactics, threat intelligence sharing and supply chain security amid rising geopolitical tensions and cyberthreats.
Geopolitical instability is fundamentally reshaping the cybersecurity landscape. Nation-state actors increasingly leverage cyber operations alongside traditional conflict vectors, while hacktivist groups amplify ideologically motivated attacks. The lines between state-sponsored activity and organized cybercrime blur as sophisticated threat actors adopt ransomware-as-a-service models and multi-stage extortion tactics. Financial institutions face brand impersonation, DDoS campaigns and targeted disruption linked directly to foreign policy decisions.
Security leaders must balance operational resilience with rapid threat response while managing resource constraints and skills gaps.
In this insightful session, industry leaders will discuss:
- Evolving nation-state tactics and lessons from recent cyber operations;
- Building threat intelligence-sharing communities based on trust and reciprocity;
- Strengthening supply chain security amid complex vendor dependencies.
