Why Biasing Advanced Persistent Threats over Cybercrime is a Security Risk

Last week, Defence Secretary John Healey said it is a "critical period" for Ukraine and pledged that the UK would be "stepping up" help. Earlier in December, veterans minister Mr Carns, who is also a reservist, issued the warning as he spoke of the importance of rebuilding the UK's reserve forces. During a speech at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, Mr Carns said: "In a war of scale - not a limited intervention, but one similar to Ukraine - our army for example on the current casualty rates would be expended - as part of a broader multinational coalition - in six months to a year.”

Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute, said that such assassinations "are predominantly aimed at attacking aspects of the Russian military system while increasing the psychological pressure on Russia by bringing the war home to Russians."

Tom Keatinge, head of the financial security department of the Royal Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) in the United Kingdom, gave an interview to the Sankei Shimbun about sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine. Mr. Keatinge pointed out that there is still a lot of work to be done, such as expanding sanctions on third-country companies doing business with Russia (secondary sanctions). He expressed strong concern about military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, and expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump, who will take office in the United States on January 20 next year, will make effective use of the sanctions.
