For more than two decades, leaders across government, industry, the military, and the intelligence community have warned of a coming "Cyber Pearl Harbor." Yet a growing number of experts are asking a different question:
Have aspects of that event already occurred through years of persistent cyber campaigns targeting America's government, economy, critical infrastructure, and national security interests?
Rather than formal presentations, the session will feature a candid conversation among senior leaders with diverse perspectives and real-world experience. We will explore both sides of this important question and discuss what America must do next to strengthen national resilience and cyber defense.
This panel is organized by the Technology Advancement Center or TAC which has facilities that include The Link.
