Cyber Project Speaker Series with Oren J. Falkowitz, CEO of Area 1 Security

RSVP Required Harvard Faculty, Fellows, Staff, and Students

Join the Cyber Project for a discussion with Oren J. Falkowitz, the CEO of Area 1 Security and a former NSA and USCYBERCOM official, who will discuss cybersecurity in the 2020 U.S. elections and what it takes to win in cyberspace.  Please RSVP, as lunch will be served. 

In this event, Mr. Oren J. Falkowitz, co-founder and CEO of Area 1 Security, the leading anti-phishing firm, will discuss lessons learned from launching offensive cyber campaigns on behalf of the U.S. Government and how the solution to cybersecurity is within our reach.

Despite billions of dollars spent on cybersecurity in the past decade, the results have yet to improve. Mr. Falkowitz will address how and why “cargo cult science” created a doom narrative that has become so embellished that we’ve lost our nerve to take action; what this means for the 2020 U.S. elections; and why accountability in cybersecurity is the solution.
