The Myth of the ‘Rogue Hacker’: State-Enabled...

The Security Nexus Deep Dive ·

2025/07/11

The popular image of the rogue hacker as a lone digital warrior—unaffiliated, ideologically driven, and detached from state control—is a myth that obfuscates the real structure of cyber conflict. States increasingly outsource cyber operations to non-state proxies, leveraging patriotic hackers, private contractors, and criminal syndicates. This blog post deconstructs the lone actor narrative and examines how state-enabled plausible deniability remains a core feature—and growing liability—in

The Gerasimov Doctrine Revisited: Myth, Meme, or Method?

The Security Nexus Deep Dive ·

2025/06/29

Once hailed as the Kremlin’s masterstroke in sub-threshold warfare, the so-called “Gerasimov Doctrine” has shaped Western interpretations of Russian hybrid conflict since the 2014 annexation of Crimea. But as Russia’s war in Ukraine drags on, its early fusion of psychological operations, information warfare, and kinetic ambiguity is giving way to an older, bloodier reality. This post reevaluates the Gerasimov Doctrine—where it came from, what remains relevant, and what recent failures suggest about

From its fragmented beginnings in the early 1980s to its current vertically integrated dominance, China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) has evolved from a marginal actor to a central pillar of the Communist Party’s internal and external power projection. This post traces the evolution of the MSS in terms of structure, function, and authority, culminating in a centralization campaign under Xi Jinping that has reshaped the very fabric of China’s intelligence and security architecture.The Security

2025/06/06

Ukraine’s successful drone swarm strike deep inside Russian territory marks a turning point in modern warfare. As inexpensive, autonomous UAVs exploit gaps in legacy air defense systems, this event serves as a clarion call to Western militaries: drone swarms aren’t just the future—they are the now. This post explores the strategic implications of drone swarm warfare, the lessons from Ukraine’s asymmetric success, and the urgent need for scalable countermeasures like high-power microwave (HPM)

The Security Nexus Deep Dive ·

2025/05/23

China’s strategy in the South China Sea has increasingly relied on “gray zone” operations—assertive, coercive actions just below the threshold of armed conflict. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that Beijing’s aggressive tactics may be backfiring. Rather than subduing rival claimants, China’s coercion has galvanized regional opposition, strengthened U.S. alliances, and escalated military posturing in ways that risk trapping Beijing in a costly, self-defeating cycle of confrontation.

The Security Nexus Deep Dive ·

2025/05/15

Artificial Intelligence is no longer an experimental add-on to national security—it’s becoming the neural spine of modern intelligence operations. As AI systems integrate into collection, analysis, and dissemination, they reshape not just how intelligence is produced, but how decisions are made, risks are assessed, and policies are formed. Yet, the transition from human intuition to machine-assisted forecasting introduces a new tier of ethical, strategic, and operational complexity that intelligence
