Popis: Cyber attacks by nation states, or groups acting on their behalf, are as old as hacking itself. The cyber realm quickly established itself as a natural extension of intelligence operations and even replaced old-school spying in many cases. Increasingly it is also seen as an integrated part of, and most likely a precursor to, conventional military operations. But what does this mean for enterprises, big and small? As Dave Klein, senior director of cybersec engineering & architecture at Guardicore, explains in this interview, even if you think your business is an unlikely target for such attacks, you could be at risk.
