Views from the Cyber Trenches: Understanding U.S. Military Cyber Dynamics

Tuesday, November 25, 2025 • Duration 29:50

In this special edition episode of Cache Me if You Can, we dive beneath the surface of the U.S. military’s cyber enterprise to uncover the hidden challenges facing today’s cyber warfighters. CSIS Deputy Director Lauryn Williams is joined by three retired cyber operators—Col. Sean Kern, LtCol Tony Siciliano, and Col. Ben Ring—for a candid conversation about the real conditions inside the cyber trenches. Drawing on anonymous quotes from current operators across the Services, the episode breaks down the four systemic pressures shaping the cyber workforce: Leadership: Why technically proficient cyber operators rarely rise into senior command roles. Training: How uneven and outdated training pipelines leave some operators unprepared for mission demands. Readiness: Why a small cadre of highly skilled “unicorn” operators end up carrying the majority of the operational load. Culture: How traditional service cultures undervalue cyber expertise compared to kinetic career fields. Together, the guests unpack how these structural issues weaken the nation’s cyber readiness—and why addressing them may require establishing a dedicated U.S. Cyber Force designed to recruit, train, and retain the country’s top cyber talent.

Cables Under Pressure: Securing Europe’s Subsea Cables

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 • Duration 23:44

In this episode of Cache Me if You Can, we dive beneath the surface to explore the fragile networks that keep the world connected. Our guest, Dr. Anna-Maria Osula, Cyber and Economic Counselor at the Estonian Embassy in Washington D.C., unpacks the geopolitical and technical stakes of securing subsea cables. We discuss Europe’s emerging Cable Security Action Plan, NATO’s new Baltic Sentry surveillance mission, and how hybrid threats, from anchor drags to covert sabotage, are reshaping the way allies think about resilience. Together, we examine what happens when the world’s data highways become battlefields, and what Europe’s experience can teach the rest of the world about protecting the foundations of the digital age.

Swords, Shields, and Scaling Laws: Rethinking AI Power

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 26:12

In this episode of Cache Me if You Can, we speak with Drew Lohn, Senior Fellow at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology and former Director for Emerging Technology at the National Security Council. Drew has been ahead of the curve in debates on scaling laws, AI’s impact on cyber offense and defense, and the economic and political risks of extractive AI models. We discuss key factors that will determine the course of the global AI race beyond the usual discussions of building bigger models, and what policy choices can tilt the balance toward more secure, resilient AI.

Building Resilience: How the U.S. Can Regain a Cyber Advantage

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 28:46

In this episode of Cache Me if You Can, host Matt Pearl sits down with Anne Neuberger, former Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technologies, to unpack how the United States can build a resilient cyber strategy in the face of growing Chinese aggression. Drawing on her recent Foreign Affairs publication, Neuberger explains why China is winning the cyberwar, how AI-enabled “digital twins” could transform U.S. defense, and why resilience, not offense, must underpin deterrence. The conversation explores the convergence of intelligence, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies, the role of the private sector in defending critical infrastructure, and what it will take to secure America’s digital future.

The Global Rulebook: Competing Visions for Tech Governance

Wednesday, December 17, 2025 • Duration 29:19

In this episode of Cache Me if You Can, we examine how governments around the world are shaping the rules of the digital age. From the United States’ market-driven approach to the European Union’s rights-based frameworks, competing models of tech governance are redefining innovation, privacy, and security. Our guest, Shane Tews, nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and president of Logan Circle Strategies, draws on her experience across government, industry, and global internet governance to unpack debates over encryption, lawful access, and emerging technologies like AI and 5G. Together, we explore whether a shared global rulebook is still possible—or if the future of tech governance will be increasingly fragmented.

Space in the Digital Era: Security, Competition, and Governance Beyond Earth

Wednesday, January 7, 2026 • Duration 29:55

In this episode of Cache Me if You Can, we explore how space has become a central arena for geopolitical competition, economic activity, and national security in the digital age. Once dominated by government-led exploration, space, particularly low Earth orbit, is now crowded with commercial actors, new technologies, and emerging security risks that challenge existing rules and norms. Our guest, Audrey M. Schaffer, senior vice president of global policy and government strategy at Slingshot Aerospace and former director for space policy at the National Security Council, draws on her experience across the White House, Department of Defense, State Department, and NASA to unpack today’s evolving space threat environment. We discuss China’s growing space ambitions, the role of commercial satellites in modern conflict, the intersection of AI and space security, and how the United States can lead on governance, sustainability, and norm-setting to protect its competitive edge beyond Earth.
