S6 E8: Cyber Warfare & Geopolitics: How Threat Actors Are Targeting America with David Cook

In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, we sit down with David Cook, Director of National Security at ShadowDragon, to discuss the intersection of intelligence, cybersecurity, and geopolitics. With the 2024 election cycle in full swing and tensions rising globally, cyber threats against the U.S. are more complex than ever.

David, a seasoned national security expert with experience in special operations, OSINT, and congressional policy advising, breaks down how threat actors—state-sponsored and otherwise—are leveraging cyber tactics to exploit political instability. From election interference to critical infrastructure attacks, David shares his insights on what’s at stake, where the vulnerabilities lie, and how the U.S. can strengthen its cyber defenses in this volatile landscape.

Tune in to hear:

The biggest cyber threats facing the U.S. during this election year
How nation-state actors like Russia and China might escalate cyber attacks
The role of OSINT and disinformation in modern cyber warfare
What the U.S. government and private sector must do to stay ahead of cyber adversaries
