In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, the ever-expanding digital frontier faces a new breed of threats, empowered by artificial intelligence, as nations collaborate to fortify their cyber defenses.
Larger attack surfaces, with a growing amount of critical services online, as well as an larger pool of nefarious actors leveraging artificial intelligence, have shaped how defenders cooperate and operate. Still, this is only part of the puzzle, as adversaries also team up to empower their activities.
Poland shares borders and history with Russia and its cyber experience during the ongoing Ukraine invasion places the nation at the forefront of this crisis.
“The war is not one-on-one, its not like that, its more coalition-on-coalition,” said Maj. Gen. Karon Molenda, commander of the Polish cyber command.
Efforts have crossed the Atlantic and support for Kyiv has also meant mutual support within the larger coalition.
“The Ukraine crisis has shown us that coalitions do matter and we have demonstrated examples of where we have come together and support of Ukraine,” said Sami Khoury, head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security.
The speakers addressed the audience at the Billington Cybersecurity Summit on Wednesday, where experts from around the world gathered to discuss current and future issues.
