Between Two Nerds: Exploits are not cyber power

Tom Uren and The Grugq discuss findings from Ukrainian cyber security researchers on the actual role of exploits in cyber operations during wartime. The episode draws on a paper arguing that exploits may be less central to cyber warfare strategy than commonly assumed. The discussion covers how cyber capabilities extend beyond exploit availability.

Why it matters: Security strategists and policy makers evaluating cyber threat models should understand whether exploit scarcity or other factors constrain adversary operations, as this shapes defensive and deterrence priorities.
