Ep. 40 - CRINK: The Cyber Threat Accelerating Right Now

China. Russia. Iran. North Korea.

As geopolitical tensions escalate—especially involving China and Iran—their cyber activity isn’t slowing down. It’s converging. In this episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley unpack CRINK: an intelligence-community term rarely used in the commercial market, but critical for defenders to understand now.

CRINK isn’t a formal alliance so much as it’s a shared playbook. Chinese pre-positioning, Russian disruption, Iranian sabotage, and North Korean cybercrime combine into a full-spectrum, asymmetric threat targeting critical infrastructure and enterprises.

If your security strategy relies on alerts, assumptions, or patching alone, you’re already behind.

This episode explains why—and how to move from guessing to proving your defenses work.
