Talk Abstract
To observe National Cyber Security Month, CyLab Distinguished Fellow
Richard Power will speak on Starting Over After A Lost Decade; In Search
of a Bold New Vision for Cyber Security.
It is not enough to develop a comprehensive cyber security
program that exists in isolation from the world beyond the cloud and the
cables. We have to analyze the political, economic and social environments
that impact our ability to deliver security. We cannot wage a 21st Century
struggle for hearts and minds with a 20th Century world-view anymore than
we can wage a 21st Century struggle to secure information and systems with
20th Century technology. A bold new vision is needed, one that is holistic
and evolves out of transformative metaphors that reframe our concepts
about security.
