Panel Discussion
Adversary Philosophy
Recent conflicts have shown us that wars today aren't just fought with traditional weapons, they are fought with code, misinformation, and influence. This panel dives into how adversaries are using a mix of traditional and unconventional tactics, from cyber attacks to psychological operations, to gain the upper hand on modern battlefields. We will look at real examples from recent wars, explore the technologies driving these shifts, and discuss what defense, security, and policy leaders need to take away from it all.
