In the presentation, Ms. Hathaway described her role in helping to develop recent U.S. cyber security strategy, the threats and challenges that still exist in the cyber realm, and the "five areas of tension" found in government bureaucracies and the private sector that complicate the development of coherent and effective cyber security policies.
