- Title:
- SECURITY IN CYBERSPACE: AN EMERGING CHALLENGE FOR SOCIETY
As more and more human activities move into cyberspace, they become
exposed to a new set of vulnerabilities, that can be exploited by a
wide spectrum of "bad actors" for a variety of motives. This seminar
discusses questions such as: (1) How serious are the likely threats to
different segments of society, both today and in the future, from
cyberspace-based attacks? (2) What are the best strategies for
achieving security in cyberspace? (3) What roles and missions should
various national entities be assigned? (4) Are there specific services
and institutions that play such vital roles in society that their
protection from cyberspace-based attacks should be of national concern?
This presentation does not answer all these questions, but at least
attempts to structure the discussion so that meaningful answers can be
obtained.
(Please note that this seminar is not being held in the normal venue.
The Phoenix seminar room is room PO3 at the west of the New Museums
Site.)
