Laura Jones and Maggie Smith
Episode 72 of the Irregular Warfare Podcast is the first episode of the special Irregular Warfare Initiative Project Cyber. IWI projects explore critical topics impacting the modern practice, policy, and study of irregular warfare. Led by subject matter experts, each IWI project aims to cultivate interdisciplinary dialogue, showcase unique insights, and provide a platform for collaboration. Maggie Smith, the director of IWI Project Cyber, lends her expertise as cohost.
Our guests explore the concepts of zero trust and persistence theory within the cyber domain. They begin by defining these two concepts and go on to highlight how they complement each other in practice. They continue by explaining the importance of seizing and maintaining the initiative in the cyber domain and how it would be more helpful to shift to a mindset of persistent campaigns and away from the idea of isolated cyberattacks. Finally, they conclude with thoughts on the implications for future cyber strategies.
