Talk: Cyber Regionalism

Prevailing narratives characterise cyber conflict as deeply internationalised. With many states conducting cyber operations across the world, borders have been deemed irrelevant in cyberspace.

This talk outlines the regional components of today's cyber operations and explores their implications for the security community.
