Total length of the course: <1 hour
What does planning and executing cyber operations look like under the hood? In this conversation, explore what effective integration of cyber into conventional military planning actually requires, how pre-positioning works in practice, and what role private companies and contractors play in enabling state operations. We then turn to the harder resource questions: how to calculate the true cost of offensive capability, how to balance investment across people, tools, and infrastructure, and what a country with no offensive cyber capacity should do first.
