CLAWS Cyber Index I Volume I I Issue 13
The evolving cyber landscape continues to be defined by great power competition, disruptive technologies, and increasingly sophisticated threat actors. In this issue of the CLAWS Cyber Index, we capture critical developments across domains: from China’s intensifying scrutiny of foreign technology and AI-driven influence operations, to U.S. debates on establishing a dedicated Cyber Force, to fresh vulnerabilities in widely deployed infrastructure like Citrix NetScaler. We also spotlight new fronts in cognitive warfare, space and satellite security, and the growing convergence of state-backed cyber espionage with financially motivated criminal enterprises.
Taken together, these updates underscore a world where cyberspace is no longer a peripheral domain but a decisive arena for national security, strategic competition, and societal resilience.
