Computers, Cyber and the Realities with National Security

Speaker: Jeffrey K. Harris

Computers, communication and cyber align to create a disruptive, tectonic-plate shift. It affects everyone and everything. Cyber enables vast volumes of data at our fingertips and intensifies the imperative to separate “the wheat from the chaff” and often highlights the difficulties in appropriately sharing.  It flattens organizations.  In the realm of National Security, cyber brings risk and opportunity. Threats can come with little warning and devastating effect. Cyber’s speed and global reach foreshorten decision cycles stressing policies and procedures designed for a more insular and less demanding time. A networked world mandates that to meet the demands of this new cyber world, we must set aside risk aversion and fully embrace the art and the science of risk management in an interconnected world.
