Safeguarding Critical Infrastructure through Security Cooperation: The 2022 Iranian Attacks on Albania

Wed., Apr. 3, 2024 | 1:30pm - 2:45pm

Littauer Building - Fainsod Room, 324

In 2022, an Iranian cyberattack took out critical public services across Albania. In an unprecedented response facilitated by rapid cooperation with the US Government and the private sector, the Albanian Prime Minister severed diplomatic ties with Iran, while working closely with Microsoft to restore services. In the seminar, you will hear from Microsoft's Cybersecurity expert Kozeta Garrett about the impact of these attacks on critical infrastructure and the work that went into restoring digital services, investigating adversary activity, and sharing information across the world. The Albania case study tells a broader story about how private firms and governments can cooperate, integrating technical investigations and changing approaches to geopolitical risks to address cyber threats of the future.

This seminar is co-sponsored by the Intelligence Project and Women in Defense, Diplomacy, and Development (W3D). It will take place on Wednesday, April 3rd from 1:30 to 2:45PM in the Fainsod Room and will be moderated by Intelligence Project Manager Maria Robson-Morrow. This seminar is in person only and is open to the first 40 registered Harvard ID holders. Light refreshments will be served and the seminar will be under the Chatham House Rules.
