"Reports on cyber-attacks linked to Russia are not rare in daily news," says advance publicity material, "From the damage done by NotPetya or operations against Ukraine and Georgia, to Russia’s hacking and leaking operations in the US and European countries’ elections, states struggle to adapt to threats in cyberspace.
"The webinar will explore how Russia is using cyberspace for influence activities in the framework of its 'information confrontation' and will discuss the extent, purposes and strategic implications of Russian cyber capabilities," the organizers say.
