摘要：
2024年4月，俄羅斯在聖彼得堡舉辦了一場有關資訊主權與安全的會議，邀請來自亞洲、非洲、拉丁美洲及中東國家的國安官員參加。會議的主要目標是介紹俄羅斯的網路技術，如何對抗西方監控、影響與干預。同時也向外傳達訊息：俄羅斯頂尖的網路安全企業如何協助政府控制國家資訊空間。 

為什麼這很重要？ 
  • 俄羅斯的網路安全公司看起來像私人公司，但實際上與俄羅斯軍方、聯邦安全局及總參謀部情報總局(格魯烏)等安全機構關係密切，因此成為西方制裁與禁令的目標。 
  • 當西方正在籌劃新一輪制裁之際，各國最高層級國安與情報機構的代表團卻齊聚這場會議。 
  • 與會國家早已了解俄羅斯在網路技術方面的能力，以及這些技術保護國家數位基礎設施的價值。即使當時俄烏戰爭衝突四起，但這些國家仍保有與俄羅斯的商業往來，也不擔心俄羅斯對自身的影響。 
  • 面對西方不斷的施壓，俄羅斯仍積極試圖擴張自身影響力、推廣克里姆林宮的敘事、加強情報能力，並在全球各國推動俄羅斯網路技術，削弱西方情報活動。 
  • 川普對俄羅斯態度的軟化，以及美國反俄羅斯網路行動的資源變少，可能讓俄羅斯有能力對美國與歐洲發動更多網路戰，同時削弱其在全球南方的影響力。
 
Summary: 
In April 2024, Russia held a conference on information sovereignty and security in St. Petersburg, inviting national security officials from Asian, African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries. The meeting's primary aim is to introduce Russian cybertechnologies that counter Western surveillance, influence, and interference. Another message is to inform how Russia's top cybersecurity companies can assist governments in controlling their national information space. 

Why does it matter? 
  • Russian cybersecurity firms appear to be privately owned. However, they have close ties to Russian military and security agencies such as the FSB and GRU, making them a target for Western sanctions and bans. 
  • While the West was devising new rounds of sanctions on Russia, delegations comprising top national security and intelligence agencies from other parts of the world participated in the conference.  
  • The conference participants have long understood Russia's capabilities in cybertechnologies and the value they could bring in protecting their national digital infrastructures. These countries have maintained business ties with Russia despite the Ukrainian crisis and are not concerned about Russian influence in their countries. 
  • Despite Western pressures, Russia is attempting to expand its influence, promote the Kremlin's narrative, enhance its intelligence capabilities, and blunt Western intelligence activities by promoting the global use of Russian cybertechnologies. 
  • Trump's softer tone on Russia and the reduction of US counter-Russian cyberoperations assets may enable Russia to wage more cyberwarfare against the US and Europe and undermine their influence in the global south.
