Has the cybersecurity threat from Russia been contained?

The last two years have seen a spotlight trained on the Russian government’s cyber-attack capability. From Fancy Bear hacking the Democratic National Committee in the US, to NotPetya crashing systems in the Ukraine (and Russia) and alleged influence operations on electoral processes across Europe and the US, the threats are unpredictable, dangerous and disputed.

But just how real is the Russian cybersecurity threat? Is cyber-war just around the corner, or have Russian cyber-strategies become predictable and containable?
