Over the last decade, our understanding of cyber security has irrevocably shifted. Once regarded as the domain of basement-dwelling loners, cyber threats have now been recognised as the pervasive threat that they really are and states around the world are increasingly going on the digital offensive with a range of sophisticated cyber weapons.
