"This book is a must-read as the possibility for future cyber engagements with Russia grows. Scott Jasper provides a great foundation and analysis that all of us would benefit from knowing."-- Gen. Keith Alexander, USA (Ret.), former commander of Cyber Command and former director of the National Security Agency, from the foreword to Russian Cyber Operations
"How Russia understands, uses, and adapts its cyber operations is an important topic for scholars and decision makers around the world. Scott Jasper provides a detailed analysis of past cyber incidents, combining it with an assessment of how [they] align with international law and emerging norms for cyberspace. Equally important is the third part of Russian Cyber Operations providing food for thought on how to effectively protect and defend against cyber operations."-- Tim Maurer, codirector of the Cyber Policy Initiative at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of Cyber Mercenaries: The State, Hackers, and Power
"In the battle to protect the global order and empower democracies throughout the world, Russia is our most dangerous adversary.

A thorough evaluation of cyber, hybrid, and informational aspects of Russia's strategies provides us with a fresh look at the evolution of conflict and the future challenges we will face."-- Brandon Valeriano, Donald Bren Chair of Military Innovation, Marine Corps University
