Description
Total length of the course: <1 hour
China's cybersecurity ecosystem is vast, layered, and deliberately opaque, and understanding it requires looking well beyond the headlines about state-sponsored hacking. In this conversation, map the architecture of Chinese cyber power, including the roles of the Ministry of State Security (MSS), the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and private companies. Delve into what the leaks from offensive cyber company I-Soon revealed about the culture of Chinese cyber operators, and explore how Beijing thinks about sovereignty, deterrence, and being caught.
