CLAWS Cyber Index I Volume I I Issue 19
This issue of the CLAWS Cyber Index, covers significant cybersecurity and geopolitical developments from the first fortnight of November 2025. The report highlights the intensifying convergence of artificial intelligence, state-sponsored espionage, and kinetic warfare. Key themes include the weaponization of “agentic” AI for autonomous cyber-espionage, the deepening technological decoupling between China and the West, and the critical role of low-cost drone systems in redefining NATO’s eastern defense posture. The issue also details novel malware tradecraft—such as the abuse of legitimate cloud APIs (OpenAI, Google Gemini) for command-and-control—and exposes vulnerabilities in critical defense supply chains across Australia and Europe.
