🧵 Last week I attended the Oxford Cyber Forum run by @cyber_conflict. Most of it was under the Chatham House rule, but a few bits & pieces that struck me as notable, all from very well-informed people. Bottom line is that cyber landscape reflects darkening mood in wider security

And to highlight some responses and thoughts:
Why does that matter? Ukraine is possibly the most well defended country in the world right now against cyber threats and they get hacked more now than at the start of the war. 0day isn’t the problem.

It's a much safer assumption because it presumes less about countries' capability ceilings. https://t.co/8fu6rQqURG
On the broader cyber landcape, one official noted: "our theories rest on the idea that zero-days are scarce, so countries are hesitant to use them." What, he/she asked, "could change that assumption?"
