Securing Our Digital Future: America, Asia, and Cyberspace
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Asia Society
(see times)
The media report nearly every day on sophisticated cyber attacks on government or massive thefts of sensitive corporate data, and everyone is vulnerable to cyber attack, be it phishing, identity theft, or other scams. The Internet, depository of everything we know about the world today, was created to share information, not protect it, and security experts have been playing catch up ever since. It’s not just the U.S. at risk; Asia is home to some of the world’s most connected societies – in Korea, Hong Kong, China, and Japan – and even more vulnerable to attacks, from both within and without.
How are the tools and tactics of cyber attacks, and cyber defense, evolving? Given limited government regulation and enforcement, how can businesses and consumers best protect themselves? How can government and the private sector in the U.S. and in Asia better work together to defend against attacks and to share information about threats?
This is the first in a two-part ASNC program series on cybersecurity in Asia. Part two will focus on cybersecurity issues facing the U.S. and China (Spring 2015).*** Note that this event is closed to the press ***
Speakers:
Frederick Chang, Bobby B. Lyle Centennial Distinguished Chair in Cyber Security, SMU; former Director of Research, NSA
Michael Nacht, Schneider Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs
Peter Schwartz (moderator), Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning, Salesforce.com
John Stewart, Senior Vice President, Chief Security Officer, Cisco
Brian M. White, Principal, The Chertoff Group
