Criminal gangs at war. A "cyber world war?" A new DPRK ransomware operation. Media organizations targeted by state actors. NSA guidance on characterizing threats and risks to microelectronics.

Gangland goes to war. Is there a "cyber world war" in progress? Ukraine thinks so. A new North Korean ransomware operation is described, but it’s not yet clear if it’s a state operation or some moonlighting by Pyongyang’s operators. Media organizations remain attractive targets for state actors. NSA releases guidance on characterizing threats and risks to microelectronics.

Our guest is Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly discussing her time at CISA and the work of her team.
