Our clients often ask us to assess the threat Russia poses in cyberspace. Russia has
long been a whispered frontrunner among capable nations for performing
sophisticated network operations. This perception is due in part to the Russian

Georgia in 2008, as well as the rampant speculation that Moscow was behind a
major U.S. Department of Defense network compromise, also in 2008. These
rumored activities, combined with a dearth of hard evidence, have made Russia into
something of a phantom in cyberspace.
