As digital infrastructure becomes the backbone of global economies, cyber espionage has quietly evolved into one of the most powerful tools in modern statecraft. 

Behind the scenes, nation-backed threat groups like MuddyWater and OilRig operate sophisticated campaigns that blend malware, phishing, and social engineering to infiltrate governments, defence contractors, and critical industries. But these Advanced Persistent Threat groups aren’t motivated by fame or by fortune. They’re after insights on matters of national security, looking for long-term access to strategic intelligence, and preparing tactical disruption of their adversaries. 

In this episode, Group-IB’s Gary Ruddell and Nick Palmer speak with Mansour Alhmoud, a cyber threat intelligence analyst at Group-IB responsible for tracking APT groups, to unearth how these groups operate and what organizations and governments should be doing to protect themselves against state-sponsored threats.

By understanding who these actors are and how they operate, you can better anticipate threats and protect yourself in an increasingly hostile digital world.
