The next global crisis won’t come from a battlefield - it will strike through a line of code.

It’s a human problem. And it’s time we evolve to meet it." Sanjana Rathi is the founder of The CyberDiplomat, operating at the intersection of cybersecurity and international relations. With degrees from LSE and Tel Aviv University, she merges technical expertise and strategic insight to tackle global cyber threats.
