 This panel explores the presence and actions of non-state actors in\n   th
 e Russia-Ukraine conflict. With a focus on volunteerist cyber actors\n   i
 n the conflict\, such as patriotic hackers and hacktivist collectives\,\n 
   individual volunteers - or even the private sector -\, the panel\n   exp
 lores the conduct of these actors during the conflict\, as well as\n   how
  the cyber criminal landscape has evolved during the course of the\n   con
 flict. Bringing together a set of diverse perspectives from across\n   the
  policy\, operational\, legal\, and security community spheres\, both\n   
 within\, and outside of government\, including the NGO space\, it focuses\
 n   on the implications of these actions: can these indeed be considered\n
    altruistic actions in cyberspace? Or do they hold more complex\n   impl
 ications than we are prepared to admit? This panel intends to\n   demonstr
 ate the ways in which the actions of non-state actors\n   challenge some o
 f our basic assumptions about cyberspace as a domain\n   of operations –
  but also how adversaries might understand this\n   behaviour too. Ultimat
 ely\, it argues that the unique space that\n   non-state actors occupy wit
 hin the cyber elements of the conflict\n   requires much deeper considerat
 ion\, and complex\, considered thought\n   from the wider international se
 curity community.\n   '\n\n   1. #CaesarsSummitBR\n\n\n
