"Genius Hackers Help Russia's Neighbors Thwart Cyber Incursions"

Russia's cyber capabilities are not to be underestimated, but NATO neighbors are more than capable of defending themselves against the Kremlin, according to the Lithuanian cyber chief. Constant cyberattacks from Russia are launched against the nations that border Moscow's empire. Everything is on the agenda, from ransomware attacks to attack attempts against critical infrastructure. As demonstrated by the war in Ukraine, military operations are often accompanied by cyber operations, prompting NATO and EU members such as Lithuania to develop tools and methods to defend against numerous and better-resourced adversaries. Liudas Ališauskas, the head of Lithuania's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), believes that one way to meet the challenge is by fostering local talent and forming partnerships with the most skilled hackers. Cybernews sat down with Ališauskas to discuss how the frontline NATO member defends against Moscow's hackers, whether Russia can still be considered a significant power after a year of disastrous warfare, and the impact of attacks launched by pro-Russian hacktivists such as Killnet. This article continues to discuss NATO members' defense against Moscow's hackers.
