The Aspen Institute

In her final days in office, Lisa O. Monaco, President Obama’s chief counterterrorism and homeland security advisor, shared her view on the murky and rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats facing the United States—from Russian hackers to Chinese spies to botnets created from the “internet of things.” What further challenges, and potential opportunities, does the White House see on the horizon for the incoming administration—and how concerned should Americans really be about electronic meddling from overseas?

Monaco was interviewed by former US Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, who is now chair of a new program on cybersecurity at The Aspen Institute.
