Defending Against Nation-State Hacking & Cyber Warfare Attacks

Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor

There have been many news reports in the past several months about nation-state espionage, and in particular nation-state cyberthreats and cybersecurity warfare attacks. So, what exactly are nation-state cyberthreats? What countries are the sources of the cyberthreats? What countries are launching cyberattacks? Russia? China? The USA? Others? Who should be defending against these cyberthreats? Government? Corporations? Individual citizens? In what ways have US citizens committed cyberattacks against their own country on behalf of other nation-states? Why is profiling based on an individual’s nationality and heritage a very bad idea for defending against nation-state cyberattacks? And in what ways does it actually do much more harm than good, and does not protect against the actual nation-state cyberwarfare practices? Listen in as Christopher Burgess, a 30+-year CIA security expert, nation-state cyberthreats and cyberwarfare expert, writer, speaker and commentator on security issues, answers these questions and many more in an informative discussion with Rebecca.
