Paul Nakasone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone, who oversees both CYBERCOM and the National Security Agency, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/02\/01\/armed-services-panel-finalizes-roster-with-three-new-gop-senators\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Senate Armed Services Committee<\/a> March 7 that his teams are monitoring the situation in Ukraine \u201cvery carefully,\u201d noting that Russia remains a \u201cvery capable adversary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy no means is this done, in terms of the Russia-Ukraine situation,\u201d Nakasone said, responding to questions from Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat. \u201cSo, as Russia looks at armaments coming into the country, as Russia looks at different support, how do they react?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war in Eastern Europe kicked off Feb. 24, 2022, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/02\/13\/when-will-the-war-in-ukraine-end-experts-offer-their-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Moscow launched a surprise incursion across the border<\/a> into Ukraine, seeking to topple the government in Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invasion was preceded by a flurry of cyberattacks, including one on Viasat, a California company, meant to cripple command and control networks. The hack had no effect on Viasat\u2019s government customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One year later, as winter gives way to spring, the thawed militaries are expected to launch new offensives. NATO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m8tztOaMAXY\" target=\"_blank\">Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg<\/a> in February said Russian moves \u2014 with \u201cthousands of more troops\u201d \u2014 were already underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/cyber\/2022\/11\/07\/advance-work-in-ukraine-blunted-russian-cyber-advantage-us-says\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1244126854.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Advance work in Ukraine blunted Russian cyber advantage, US says<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Pentagon sought $11.2 billion for cyber in fiscal 2023.

He did, however, acknowledge that Russian troops \u201chave been very active in Ukraine, in terms of conducting a number of cyberattacks, including destructive and disruptive attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CyberPeace Institute, a Switzerland-based nongovernmental organization, cataloged in 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberconflicts.cyberpeaceinstitute.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">more than 50 discrete assaults<\/a> on Ukrainian critical infrastructure and civilian systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Government leaders and analysts have feared similar attacks stateside. While they have yet to come to fruition, Nakasone said U.S. vigilance has not diminished. CYBERCOM is charged with defending U.S. networks and coordinating military strikes in the digital domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe continue to work very tightly with our other partners within the U.S. government, [the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency], FBI, to ensure that our U.S. critical infrastructure is protected, and NATO, in general, to ensure that they\u2019re aware of the tradecraft that the Russians might use,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/12\/20\/election-defending-cyber-national-mission-force-elevated-by-pentagon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nakasone said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. defense officials consider Russia a near-peer national security threat, alongside the longer-term hazards posed by China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neal Higgins, the deputy national cyber director for national cybersecurity, in June <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/cyber\/2022\/06\/17\/prolonged-war-may-make-russia-more-cyber-aggressive-us-official-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">warned Russia may become more cyber aggressive<\/a> as fighting drags on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber tools, Higgins said at the time, could be \u201cused divide our allies and to dilute international resolve against\u201d Russian efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBy no means is this done, in terms of the Russia-Ukraine situation,\u201d Gen.
