Galante Strategies

Cyber attacks, disinformation, and electoral interference increasingly threaten democracies, businesses, and personal freedoms.

Let us prepare you for what's to come.

Intelligence Capability

We specialize in building programs and teams that can respond to today’s cyber and information threats. Our recent work includes designing a cyber and information response framework for a Ukrainian government agency, improving information sharing practices for multiple European governments, and improving sourcing, collection, analysis and dissemination practices for corporate and government intelligence teams. Our network of leading international cybersecurity professionals and intelligence analysts enables us to tackle projects that span multiple security disciplines — from complex data analysis to finished intelligence products and executive briefings.

Wargames and Analyst Training

We offer workshops and simulations focused on countering cyber attacks, threat intelligence analysis, cyber threat attribution, and countering disinformation campaigns. We specialize in recruiting, training, and directing top intelligence analysis teams in the public and private sectors. We lead with the fundamentals of analysis and use today’s threat and information landscape to hone your team’s skills and practices. We’ve worked with teams at US companies, government agencies, and universities in Italy, Ukraine, Sweden, Kosovo, Spain and Singapore.

Election Interference Monitoring

Elections are major targets for disinformation attacks and other efforts designed to undermine public confidence and democratic processes. We help campaigns and public officials identify and address complex threats. In 2019, our team took part in the development and implementation of Ukraine Elects — the first election task force that combined analysis of cyber, disinformation, and kinetic attacks.

Countering Disinformation

We take a holistic approach to tracking and mitigating the threats posed by disinformation and influence operations. By assembling one of the early private sector teams focused on modern information operations, we bring a depth of research experience, a trusted expert network in multiple targeted countries, and experience with the latest data mining and analysis tools.

Board Advisement, Expert Testimony, Media Commentary

We advise boards and business councils who seek a deeper understanding of the cybersecurity and business risks they face. We also work closely with law firms and insurance carriers to create realistic assessments and policies for their clients. Laura currently serves on the board of advisors of cybersecurity innovator and startup, Safeguard Cyber. Laura has testified before the UN Security Council and regularly comments in global and industry media.

Crisis and Rapid Response

Organizations and public figures have brief windows of time to react to a crisis--whether it's a cybersecurity breach or a disinformation campaign targeting your organization. We're experienced in attributing and exposing cyber attacks and sensitive data breaches, mitigating risk in the midst of state conflicts and regime changes, counteracting online adversaries and trolls, and organically building public support and awareness. We’ve designed and directed highly effective communication strategies, media programs, and public advocacy campaigns ranging from elections in Virginia to public-private partnerships in Zimbabwe.

Speaking Engagements

Laura breaks down the whirlwind of cybersecurity developments and vividly explains the dynamics of state cyber and disinformation threats. She draws from her experience analyzing cyber threats at the Department of Defense, leading intelligence units at Mandiant and FireEye, and recent engagements for multiple governments dealing with a post-2016 threat environment. Her audiences range from heads of government to rural church congregations, industry conferences to international journalists—and just about every vertical and geography in between.

Laura’s 2017 TED Talk has been viewed over 2.5 million times and has been translated into 16 languages. She is an energetic speaker who seeks to make the dynamics of cyberspace and disinformation accessible and leave her audiences with a renewed sense of agency and purpose.
