- The Proxy Warfare: Unmasking Russian and Chinese Externalized Cyber Capabilities This presentation examines how Russia and China increasingly outsource their cyber and influence operations to private entities, uncovering the strategic motivations and the models behind this trend. We explore how both states leverage contractors, front companies, and tech providers to enhance deniability, accelerate capability growth, and achieve operational flexibility. Yet, these methods also raise complex risks, including loss of control and blowback from operational security failures. By comparing Russia’s cultivated decentralization with China’s state-directed but fragmented integration, this presentation offers an in depth look at the evolving ecosystem of cyber proxies. - 15:45/16:30, 07 Jun 2025
