Society and Cyberthreats: Risks to National Security in a Global Economy

October 19, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Join us for a Virtual Event on Wednesday, October 19th at 6:30 PM via Zoom Webinar, Society and Cyberthreats: Risks to National Security in a Global Economy.

Today, we transact vast amounts of data through smart-devices for work, home life, and everything in between.  Data is the ‘new oil’ and cybersecurity has evolved into a primary focus for malicious actors—some of whom are foreign State actors and often very well organized, coordinated, with the objective of achieving strategic outcomes.  To better understand this landscape of cyberthreats, we bring together this panel discussion on Society and Cyberthreats to examine our country’s cyber strategies.

We are joined by Dr. Harknett and Ms. Guider to start by asking some simple questions to better understand Cyberthreats in our daily lives beyond our mere distant awareness about coercion, militarized crisis, and war: 

  • Is cybersecurity more of a technology or people problem? 
  • How have the nature of cybersecurity threats changed in the recent decade(s)?
  • How has the training/education curriculum evolved in response to the changing global cybersecurity threats?

Guest Panelists:

Kathy Guider, Vice President Veracity IIR, retired FBI Special Agent

Richard Harknett, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Professor & Director, School of Public and International Affairs (SPIC), Co-Director, Ohio Cyber Range Institute(OCRI), Chair, Center for Cyber Strategy and Policy (CCSP)
