In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, hosts Major General (Ret’d) Dr Marcus Thompson, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman discuss the application of cyber and information in the modern threat environment, and how the White House is changing voting behaviours across the West.
They begin the podcast by unpacking Thomas Rid’s Cyber War Will Not Take Place, discussing the intricacies of cyber operations and how cyber continues to adhere to the Clausewitzian principles describing the political and physical dimensions of conflict.
The conversation then moves across the cyber spectrum to information operations and how cyber is a carriage of information that can be used to destabilise populations.
MAJGEN (Ret'd) Dr Thompson and Tarrant unpack Australia’s response to global political uncertainty and the threat of tariffs, and how the White House administration is impacting elections across the globe.
The podcast wraps up looking at how democracies can use truth as a competitive advantage in the information space.
