A major five-part series from Sky News and Tortoise which imagines how a Russian attack on the UK could play out – and invites real-life former ministers, military chiefs and other experts to figure out how to defend the country.
Written and presented by Sky News' security and defence editor, Deborah Haynes.
This is Deborah's second podcast series for Sky News. In her first series, Into The Grey Zone, Deborah explores the murky evolution of warfare.
What do assassinations, cyber hacks and disinformation have in common? They're all weapons used by states against each other in a grey zone of harm under the threshold of war, but could be just as dangerous if ignored.

Cyber Power (Part I) - Cyber Pearl Harbour | Grey Zone Ep 4
States, criminals and terrorists all use cyber to attack each other in the grey zone. It puts anyone with a computer in the firing line, but also means that anyone who understands computers has the ability to fight back.
This episode explores a range of cyber threats from espionage up to attacks that cause physical harm, such as by targeting hospitals or electricity supplies.
Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes also speaks to a young computer expert called Marcus Hutchins who helped to stop one of the worst known cyber attacks to hit the UK.
The National Health Service was one of the main victims of the May 2017 WannaCry attack, blamed on North Korea. Pyongyang has denied involvement.
Interviews: Ciaran Martin, former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre Paul Chichester, director of operations at the National Cyber Security Centre Marietje Schaake, international director of policy at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Centre Harold Thimbleby, professor of computer science at Swansea University Marcus Hutchins, computer security expert
