From Cyber to Physical: Tackling Modern Hybrid Threats with John Cohen Welcome to a brand new episode of To the Point Cybersecurity! This week, hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher are joined by John Cohen, Executive Director of the Program for Countering Hybrid Threats at the Center for Internet Security. With more than forty years of experience in law enforcement, counterintelligence, and homeland security, John brings a wealth of insights into the ever-evolving landscape of multidimensional threats—where cyber, physical, and information operations are increasingly intertwined. In this episode, John unpacks how bad actors, from foreign intelligence to criminal organizations, are leveraging online platforms and social media not just to carry out cyberattacks, but also to influence public perception, disrupt critical infrastructure, and undermine trust in institutions. The discussion dives into real-world scenarios—like attempts to disrupt elections, attacks on local government systems, and the complex challenges these “hybrid” threats pose to traditional cybersecurity models. You'll hear how new frameworks and collaborative approaches are helping state and local governments—and the private sector—move the needle toward greater resilience. Plus, John explains key initiatives like ThreatWire and Secure Cyber Cities, which are reshaping how threat intelligence is gathered, shared, and acted on in real time. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that blends practical advice, thought-provoking examples, and a forward look at the shifting threat landscape. Whether you’re a cybersecurity professional, policymaker, or just curious about how online threats are changing our world, this episode is packed with timely insights you won’t want to miss!
