The three main Russian cyber organizations?

• A. KGB, FSB, and SVR.
• B. NSA, SVR, and GRU.
• C. FSB, KGB, and NSA.
• D. FSB, SVR, and GRU.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is understanding who drives Russia’s cyber capabilities across different domains. The trio most frequently cited for cyber activities comprises the FSB, SVR, and GRU. The FSB, or Federal Security Service, handles domestic security and counterintelligence, including protecting critical infrastructure and carrying out cyber operations aimed at internal threats. The SVR, or Foreign Intelligence Service, concentrates on intelligence gathering abroad, which includes cyber espionage against foreign targets. The GRU, known as the Main Directorate of the General Staff, is military intelligence and conducts offensive cyber operations in support of the armed forces, including cyber warfare and targeting adversaries’ military capabilities. Together, these three cover both non-military and military aspects of cyber activity, domestically and internationally.

The other options mix in an older, defunct agency or a non-Russian organization, so they don’t fit as the three main Russian cyber organizations.
