This month’s AfricaHackon Masterclass dives into the intersection of Military and Intelligence (MILINT) and its impact on shaping state-level cyber capabilities. As cyber warfare evolves across regions, nations are increasingly investing in Cyber as a Warfighting Function—safeguarding critical infrastructure, pursuing adversaries, countering misinformation, disrupting cyber warfare proliferation, conducting offensive and defensive operations, supporting SIGINT, and verifying HUMINT to counter RUMINT. These efforts are essential for maintaining a strategic advantage in modern conflict. Led by @chuksjonia , this session explores the evolution from cybersecurity to Cyber Defense, with a strategic push toward Cyber Operations and Cyber Warfare within the full Information Operations framework. We will dig into how states deploy cyber weapons and CNO tooling for both defense and offense in modern warfare and the information age. Attendees will gain insights into real-world cyber operations, the mechanics of information warfare, and the critical skills needed to navigate this high-stakes domain. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, military operational planner, intelligence officer, a SIGINTer, investigations officer, CNO operator, policy strategist, or tech enthusiast, this session offers a deep dive into the complexities of state-led cyber initiatives and their far-reaching impact on global security and the geopolitical landscape. cc @startinev Register here: events.startinev.com/ahmonth…
