SOF Discussion Reception: Defending the Digital World: A Survey of the Cybersecurity Risk Landscape

Join us for the SOF Discussion Reception: Defending the Digital World: A Survey of the Cybersecurity Risk Landscape featuring Dmitri Alperovitch, Executive Chairman, Silverado Policy Accelerator and Co-Founder and Former CTO, CrowdStrike, and Heather Adkins, Senior Director, Security Engineering at Google, and John C. Inglis, United States National Cyber Director, in conversation with Ellen Nakashima, National Security Reporter, The Washington Post, for a conversation about the most dangerous threats to the safety and health of the digital world. From the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack to the NBA hack, cyberattacks from across the globe pose significant risk to public and private infrastructure in the U.S. The experts will discuss the current cybersecurity risk landscape, how the threats from overseas have evolved, and how innovation will effectively defend against them. They will also explore the preparedness of the government to ward off bad actors ahead of the midterm elections, as well as how consumers of digital technology can best protect themselves.
