Cyber Warfare: What We’ve Learned From Past Conflict

Modern conflict increasingly centers around technology and digital infrastructure. The battlefield is no longer solely a physical stretch of terrain between territories; war is waged behind enemy lines, within their networks and inside their security systems. Cyber attacks can be hugely debilitating when launched successfully, causing widespread damage and incapacitating many functions. How can entities protect their operations from opponents, particularly in this new landscape of warfare? Following several years of international conflict and discord, this episode will look at what we have learned about cyber warfare and what we should take with us to greater protect our digital terrain. While we cannot always avoid the battle, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the harm inflicted. Join Dan Lohrmann, Earl Duby and their expert guests, Richard Stiennon and Michael McLaughlin, in the final CISO Insights webinar of 2024, for a thoughtful conversation around the key takeaways of cyber warfare to date. Guest Panelists: Richard Stiennon's impressive career in cybersecurity includes authoring two key texts on cyber warfare: "Surviving Cyberwar" (2010) and "There Will Be Cyberwar" (2015).
