Cyber Project

Please join us for a Nye Cyber Lunch on "The Creation of DARPA's Cyber Analytic Framework" with Peiter Zatko (aka Mudge), network security expert, open source programmer, writer, and hacker.

Dr. Michael Sulmeyer, Belfer Center Cyber Security Project Director, will lead a four-session study group: “Problem Solving in Cyberspace Operations.” The study group aims to equip graduate students interested in cybersecurity with the conceptual tools to succeed in public policy employment in the field.

Amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, on December 23, 2015 a portion of Ukraine's power grid was taken offline by a cyber attack.  This discussion aims to move beyond the headlines and get to ground truth about the nature of the attack and its implications going forward.

Space is limited so please RSVP at: http://goo.gl/forms/fL4vqGmFRu

Investigative journalists Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan offer an unprecedented report of the resurrection of the Russian security state—from its Soviet-era transformation to the present day, where Vladimir Putin's clandestine intelligence agencies wield increasing power over the Internet and dissent. The Internet in Russia is either the most efficient totalitarian tool or the device by which totalitarianism will be overthrown. Perhaps both.

DASD Hughes will describe the core challenges he and his office have confronted over the last six months. He also will discuss the ongoing implementation of the Defense Department's new Cyberspace Strategy, the offense/defense balance, and the opportunities for academia to provide conceptual development of how escalation control and deterrence operate in the cyber domain.

Admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
