Speakers:
Catherine Lotrionte, Georgetown University
Dr. Catherine Lotrionte Over the past two decades, governments and non-state actors have become increasingly sophisticated in their attacks on the digital systems that states depend on for essential services, economic prosperity and security. Such breaches have threatened critical infrastructure, intellectual property, privacy of users’ data, important national security information and government personnel data. Because of the advances in technology and the increasing dependency on cyberspace, the issue of cybersecurity and the need for rules and common approaches to it are becoming an increasingly important issue. Today, governments and non-state actors are utilizing cyberspace to act out their geopolitical differences and to promote their political objectives. This talk will discuss the international political “playbook” that is only beginning to emerge among states with international and national discussions about cyber attacks and how to respond to them.
