## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with Nate Beach-Westmoreland, Head of Strategic Cyber Threat Intelligence at Booz Allen, to explore the evolving sophistication of Chinese cyber operations and their implications for U.S. national security. Our guest breaks down how the PRC leverages trusted-relationship abuse, network edge exploitation, and AI-powered influence campaigns to infiltrate critical infrastructure, evade detection, and operate below escalation thresholds that limit allied responses. From supply chain compromises to the weaponization of artificial intelligence in information warfare, this conversation reveals the strategic chess game playing out in cyberspace—and what the U.S. and its allies must do to regain the advantage.
