Jack Barsky: Lessons from a Former KGB Sleeper Agent (SWOB Archive)🎙️
In this special throwback, we revisit one of our most compelling conversations on Security Without Borders. Hosted by Derek Smith and Kevin Evans, this session features Jack Barsky, a former KGB sleeper agent who lived undercover in the United States for a decade during the Cold War.
Born in East Germany, Jack was recruited by the KGB and sent to the U.S. under a stolen identity. His mission: to live an ordinary life, build credibility, and be ready for future assignments — all while hiding in plain sight. Today, Jack shares how his experiences in espionage shaped his perspective on trust, deception, and modern cybersecurity.
From Cold War spycraft to enterprise security challenges, this episode bridges history and technology for anyone passionate about how intelligence tradecraft influences the way we think about digital defense today.
