Brave New Cyberworld

Tue. April 18th, 2017
Washington, DC

Jigsaw and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosted a discussion to explore diplomacy in the digital age—the threat environment, the policy imperatives, and the role of the private sector. 

State-sponsored cyber attacks have crippled critical infrastructure, manipulated elections, and ushered in a new age of high-stakes espionage. The threat are multiplying and outpacing the policy response. The need for new doctrines and concepts could not be more urgent. That will require both the private and public sector, especially when it comes to the use of active cyber defense by the private sector. This event drew on the expertise of distinguished policy, legal, and technical experts to help clarify the contours of the strategic landscape and the specific challenge of active cyber defense by the private sector.
