Cyber capabilities are continuing to proliferate beyond the more well-known cyber powers -- the United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, Israel, France, North Korea and Iran. New players include Brazil, South Africa, India and Vietnam, but their efforts tend to be particularly underreported in the mainstream press. Brazil, India and Vietnam are all consolidating their cyber capabilities into new command structures, but South Africa’s effort to do the same is being impeded by budgetary constraints. States and businesses, particularly those operating in strategically relevant sectors, should expect cyber risks to become acute as offensive capabilities come online in an ever-growing number of countries.
