The Author
Alexander Rudolph is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Political Science at Carleton University. Alex’s research explores grand strategy, conflict, and competition in cyberspace and how states attempt to maintain their monopoly on violence in the digital domain. Alex incorporates the sociology and culture of hackers, information security, and open-source intelligence methods to research the strategic thought and doctrine of cyber conflict and how it informs the creation of military cyber force structures. His methods seek to improve existing methods of analysis of cyber conflict by introducing hacker-informed perspectives on cyberspace.
Alex completed his MA in Political Science at Carleton University, where he wrote his thesis on the Canadian Armed Forces’ development of offensive cyber operations under Canada’s 2017 defence policy Strong, Secure, Engaged. As one of Canada’s leading Canadian Armed Forces cyber defence policy researchers, Alex created Canadian Cyber in Context, the only research publication dedicated to increasing understanding of Canadian cyber defence by providing research and analysis of Canadian cyber defence policy.
Outside of his academic work, Alex is an American-Canadian ex-pat and regularly contributes to Canadian and international discussions on cyber conflict. Alex has over a decade of experience as a project manager, analyst, and policy advisor for non-profits in public education and government relations. He works as a policy advisor and consultant in Ottawa, Canada on topics such as cyber security, cyber defence, artificial intelligence, intelligence, command and control, cloud, and more.
