Welcome to Beyond Borders, a premium podcast series presented by the AP Globale channel, exploring the forces shaping the future world order.
In this episode of our BRICS Conversations series, we feature an exclusive and gripping conversation with former top cyber cop and senior IPS officer, Brijesh Singh. Together, we pull back the curtain on a terrifying, invisible war: the multi-billion-dollar cyber slavery compounds operating in Southeast Asia and the tactical traps luring tech professionals into international fraud rings.
The discussion ventures deep into modern cyber-kinetic warfare, exploring how strategic digital attacks can collapse a sovereign nation's power grid without firing a single bullet. IPS Brijesh Singh breaks down the psychological precision behind social engineering, the mechanics of "digital arrest" rackets, and the geopolitical weight of foreign narrative factories targeting India's youth.
We also examine the structural resilience of India's Digital Public Infrastructure, the reality behind security frameworks, and why establishing a sovereign AI ecosystem is the ultimate defense of national sovereignty in a multipolar world.
