Cyber and strategy adviser T. Casey Fleming stood up in front of a group of insurance professionals here and told them, “We’re fighting ghosts.”
He introduced the audience at Advisen’s Cyber Risk Insights Conference in London to a concept called “Asymmetrical Hybrid Warfare.” Yes, it sounds like a bold-font title on a manila file folder with hastily pressed red-ink “top secret” stamp, briskly carried into a room for which you do not have clearance.
“Our adversaries are a lot better at intelligence than we are,” Fleming said. We—places like the UK and US—are operating in tactical, maybe operational mode. Our Chinese, Russian and North Korean opponents are operating at the strategic level. He called what is happening now the “Cold War on steroids.”
