Understanding Cyber Conflict: In Conversation with Dmitri Alperovitch

Dmitri Alperovitch has been at the head of the global cybersecurity industry for decades— first, as the Vice President of Threat Research at McAfee, and then as the co-founder and CTO of CrowdStrike

Dmitri’s work has revealed the government actors behind hacks of major corporations like Google and Sony and exposed Russia for the 2016 hack of the DNC. 

On World of DaaS, he breaks down the global cyber threat landscape and explains Russia’s cyber campaign in Ukraine. 

In this podcast, we discuss the intricacies of the war in Ukraine including Prigozhin’s Wagner Group, Starlink, and the Ukrainian counter-offensive. Dmitri is a Russian-born American citizen and he shares his unique insight into Russian-language propaganda and Putin’s motives for invading Ukraine. 

We also discuss the future of Chinese diplomacy and the potential for conflict over Taiwan in the near future.
