Session
Exploring the hacktivist landscapes of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, this talk will look at how the war in Ukraine has shaped the three diverging paths for each country's hacktivist landscape. It will explore novel approaches adopted by hacktivist personas across the three countries, and the differing circumstances for each country that have influenced these choices. The result is a novel framework through which to explore the broader global hacktivist landscape and how real world changes can significantly influence hacktivist activity.
The audience will leave this talk with a deeper understanding of hacktivism within Russia/Ukraine/Belarus, and a framework through which to consider hacktivism in a global context. For attendees, they can then apply this to their individual company threat landscapes and explore how the hacktivist landscape can change to inform leadership as the global environment changes.
