Abstract

We might imagine that cyber threats from big states like Russia and China are primarily
the concern of state intelligence agencies such as GCHQ and MI5. This, however, is the
wrong way to look at the situation. Due to increasingly blurry lines between activists,
criminals and states, everyone now needs to think about the threat from the big state
actors, from governments to businesses, large and small.
In this chapter, I will begin by considering which state actors are the ones to worry
about. We will consider their objectives in the cyber threat landscape; the complex
array of actors involved; the effects their actions have on a range of organisations; and
the key messages we should take away in conclusion.
