The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have taught us that major conflicts are no longer a remote possibility. At Kopidion we have developed specialized training, exercises, assessments, and wargames to help your organization be prepared in the event of a major conflict.
We believe planning is necessary to extend beyond traditional Risk Management, Crisis Management, Cyber Resilience, and Business Continuity Planning to include deliberate planning for future conflicts. We have special expertise in this area and want to help you be prepared. Contact us if you would like more information. You may also wish to consider our complementary Training.
This research builds on our prior enterprise capabilities and effects based operations work to focus on targeting and how - specifically - companies can put pressure on adversary ecosystems to shape adversary behavior and disrupt operations. We also show how adversary campaigns can be reverse engineered and templated.
Choosing Where to Hit: How Defenders Can Shape Adversary Behavior
At DEF CON we illustrated the full range of capabilities tech companies possess. At BSides Augusta we presented "Effects Based Operations for Tech Companies," which showed how companies can use these capabilities to disrupt and deter threat actors, at scale, using Effects Based Operations (EBO), alone or in concert with partners.
Effects Based Operations for Tech Companies
Members of Kopidion presented "Dark Capabilities: When Tech Companies Become Threat Actors" and deeply explored the full spectrum of capabilities tech companies truly possess. These capabilities can be employed by companies deliberately, but also maliciously by insiders and outsiders if not carefully understood and protected.
Dark Capabilities: When Tech Companies Become Threat Actors
In April 2025 members of Kopidion presented a talk entitled "War Planning for Tech Companies" at the RSA cybersecurity conference in San Francisco. This talk dug deeply into the subject of war planning. Below you'll find the talk materials and a war planning self-assessment checklist which we released under a Creative Commons license.
