The Watchers

Former CIA cyber chief Andy Boyd joins The Watchers to unpack how nation states wield cyber power, why Russia held back during Ukraine, and how China weaponizes intellectual property theft. We explore AI’s role in strengthening defensive capability, the maturity gap between offense and defense, and how operational resilience inside critical infrastructure shapes national security. This is a strategic look at cyber competition in 2026 and beyond.
