The National Security Institute and Silverado Policy Accelerator co-hosted a debate on Cyber Offense vs. Cyber Defense: How to Best Protect Against Cyber Exploits on Thursday, January 21 at 1 PM – 2PM ET.
The United States faces a number of emerging threats as countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea seek to utilize cyberspace for their geopolitical goals. A debate rages amongst cyber experts as to whether (and how aggressively) the United States and its allies ought to use offensive tactics in its conflicts with its adversaries, or whether we ought stick to principally defensive maneuvers.
NSI and Silverado debated the motion:
“The best form of defense in cyber is defense.”
Ciaran Martin and Heather Adkins will argue for the motion and Jamil N. Jaffer and Dmitri Alperovitch will argue against it.
