In this episode, Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley break down the realities of Russian intelligence and cyber security, separating myth from fact. They explore how Russian state actors rely on proxy actors and cybercriminal marketplaces rather than direct operations, and why attribution challenges make cyber attacks so difficult to trace.

The discussion highlights the difference between state-sponsored cyber activity and financially motivated cybercrime—and why defenders must rethink traditional assumptions. The episode closes with a look at why continuous threat exposure management is critical for staying ahead of evolving cyber threats.

Topics include: Russian cyber threats, proxy actors, attribution challenges, and modern cybersecurity strategy.
