Russian Grey Zone activities, APT Groups - Timelines and Capabilities
Russian Grey Zone Activities: Russian grey zone activities refer to a range of state-sponsored activities from cognitive warfare to cyber psyops that fall below the threshold of traditional military conflict but aim to achieve strategic objectives through covert or ambiguous means. These activities often include cyber operations, disinformation campaigns, influence operations, economic coercion, and proxy warfare. They exploit vulnerabilities, sow discord, and gain leverage over targeted countries without directly engaging in open conflict.
