On this Special Edition, our extended conversation with author and New York Times national security correspondent David E. Sanger. The Perfect Weapon explores the rise of cyber conflict as the primary way nations now compete with and sabotage one another. ‌

On this Special Edition, our extended conversation with Eric Haseltine on his book "The Spy in Moscow Station." The book... "tells of a time when—much like today—Russian spycraft had proven itself far beyond the best technology the U.S. had to offer. The perils of American arrogance mixed with bureaucratic infighting left the country unspeakably vulnerable to ultra-sophisticated Russian electronic surveillance and espionage." 

In this special edition, our extended conversation with Hank Thomas and Mike Doniger from their new company SCVX. Both experienced investors, their plan is to bring a new funding mechanism known as a SPAC to cyber security which, they say, is new to the space.

In this CyberWire special edition, advice from a pair of seasoned cyber security investors. Ron Gula caught our eye with an article he recently penned titled "Cyber entrepreneur pitfalls you can avoid." In it, he gathers a group of tech investors to get their takes on the dos and don'ts of pitching to venture capitalists. Ron runs Gula Tech Adventures along with his wife Cindi, where they aim to support the next generation of cyber technology strategy and policy. DataTribe's Mike Janke joins the conversation with his experiences guiding hopeful young entrepreneurs through the pitch process.

Capture the Flag competitions are an increasingly popular and valuable way for both cyber security students and seasoned professionals to test their skills, stay sharp and maybe even put a bit swagger on display. We set out to capture the excitement of a capture the flag event. As luck would have it, our sponsors at Juniper Networks were hosting a capture the flag hackathon at their annual NXTWork conference in Las Vegas, and they invited our CyberWire team to join them to experience it for ourselves.

In this CyberWire special edition, a conversation with Andy Greenberg, senior writer at WIRED and author of the new book "Sandworm - A New Era of CyberWar and the Hunt for the Kremlin’s Most Dangerous Hackers."

What’s an insider threat? Loosely, it’s a threat that operates from within your organization. In this CyberWire special edition, our UK correspondent Carole Theriault speaks with experts who’ll talk us through the different ways insider threats manifest themselves.
