FBI Director Christopher Wray Delivers Keynote Speech at Munich Security Conference
At the 2024 Munich Security Conference, former FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered a comprehensive assessment of the global cyber threat landscape, blending both achievements and urgent warnings. Wray highlighted recent international successes in combating cybercrime and espionage, including coordinated operations that dismantled major malware campaigns, disrupted ransomware networks, and removed Russian military intelligence access from thousands of compromised devices. He emphasized the importance of joint, sequenced actions with global partners and an expanding collaboration with the private sector to stay ahead of adversaries.
Turning to current dangers, Wray underscored the escalating cyber threat posed by the Chinese government, calling its hacking apparatus larger and more aggressive than any other nation’s and warning that China combines cyberattacks with espionage, influence campaigns, and attacks on critical infrastructure. He also noted ongoing threats from Russia, Iran, and North Korea, illustrating how nation‑state actors target democracies and essential systems worldwide.
Wray’s remarks stressed that while the world faces increasingly sophisticated cyber adversaries, collective international cooperation—rooted in shared values and trust—remains the most effective way to protect security and uphold the rule of law. Read the full remarks on the FBI website.
