About

The National Security Program and the Belfer Center are co-sponsors of a weekly study group to promote awareness of American military affairs.  Lt Col Jori Robinson, Lt Col Steve Anderson, and Dr. Scott McEntire will discuss the protection of vital national capabilities from cyber-attack.  This will include a discussion regarding the distributed nature of cyber protection across the government and today’s prioritization, legal, and regulatory framework.  What should the prioritization be, how do existing laws enable cybersecurity, and how effective is current regulation at ensuring the nation’s most vital capabilities remain resilient?
