Session
One cannot open an annual report on advanced persistent threats without finding Russia listed as one of the top threats in the cyberdomain. This talk examines Russia's evolution as a threat actor from a broader perspective, drawing on historical, socio-economic and cultural factors. Viewed through this broad lens, the tactics, techniques and procedures of Russian APTs emerge not as random aggression, but as the expression of a coherent - if at times failing - doctrine.
