Watch live: Cyberwar in Ukraine?

Passcode is proud to serve as the sole media partner for the Cyber Risk series of events with the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative.听Please join us on Thursday, Apr. 14 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.听for a panel discussion with a group of prominent cybersecurity experts.
Russian aggression against Ukraine serves as a case study for how information technology and computer hacking have been used in broader military campaigns. The Russo-Ukrainian conflict witnessed digital propaganda, denial-of-service campaigns, website defacements, and cutting-edge cyber espionage malware. Most recently, and potentially most significantly, the conflict involved cyberattacks targeting Ukraine鈥檚 energy grid鈥攃ritical civilian infrastructure. Can cyberattacks offer soldiers a tactical advantage on the battlefield? Can they have a strategic effect? What are the scenarios in which an escalation of the conflict in cyberspace might occur?
This moderated panel discussion will explore the tactical and strategic implications of Internet-era warfare in general and in Ukraine in particular, discuss their significance for policy and law, and analyze ongoing information operations. For both public and private sector leaders, the cyber dimension of Russia鈥檚 aggression in Ukraine offers many lessons and sheds light on whether cyber war is still rooted in science fiction, or has become a reality.
