Exposing cyber-espionage creates ethical dilemma for APT research - a podcast
APT (advanced persistent threat) research has been responsible for exposing numerous malicious ﻿cyber-espionage software, however, over the last couple of years the focus has increasingly been on exploits designed and built by nation-states to spy on each other. This has thrust researchers into a state of serious identity crisis, as they find themselves in a no-man's land between opposing national security agencies; an unenviable and difficult space to operate. The podcast comes from Kaspersky Labs, which being a Russian company, probably grasps the issues better than most.

Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade from Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT) joins Ryan Naraine on the podcast to discuss the “identity crisis” in the anti-malware industry and the ethics and perils of investigating state-sponsored or geopolitically significant threats.
