Osher Summer Lecture Series: Cyber Warfare & Cyber Defense

July 20: Cyber Warfare & Cyber Defense Cyber warfare between nations has been highlighted during our recent presidential campaign with the hacking of campaign offices in the attempt to influence the outcome of the election. Criminal hacking takes place daily for purposes of monetary gain and theft of business secrets. Our personal computers are inherently vulnerable to hacking and theft of data. Chris Inglis will describe the foundations and trends underlying the cyber contests taking place in and through cyberspace. He will discuss the challenges of defending national, business, and personal security and suggest strategies to address each in a world increasingly dependent on cyberspace. Chris Inglis Former Deputy Director, National Security Agency Mr. Inglis served as the deputy director of the National Security Agency from 2006-2014, a position that is equivalent to the Chief Operating Officer of a large, technically complex corporation.
