About this episode
The episode reflects on the significance of collective cyber defense following a visit to Tallinn, Estonia, amidst rising geopolitical tensions.
In the final installment of our three-part series on Cyber Coalition 2025, Maria Varmazis, host here at N2K CyberWire, and Liz Stokes, CyberWire Producer, step back from the cyber range to reflect on what their time in Tallinn really meant. This episode moves beyond the mechanics of the exercise and into the broader stakes of collective cyber defense in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical moment. Recorded two months after their visit, the conversation blends field tape and personal reflections — from standing outside the Russian Embassy in Old Town to recalling the weight inside NATO’s secure facilities. Estonia’s history, including the 2007 cyberattacks, and its visible solidarity with Ukraine underscore just how real and proximate the risks remain.
