Location not specified

Join our virtual conversation on "Security in the Cyber Age" with Brig Gen (Ret) John Inglis, former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency. The recent cyber attack that exploited software developed by SolarWinds, a U.S. based company, is unprecedented. Nearly all Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies that used the affected software have been impacted. Defending from these attacks and others is an ever-present challenge. Mr. Inglis will discuss these challenges and doctrine for addressing them. Topics will cover business, government, and legal perspectives regarding implications of the U.S. Cyber Strategy, challenges of aligning security and privacy in a free and open society, and encouraging more responsibility from the private sector in national security." This event is co-hosted by the Mason School of Business, the Law School's Center for Legal & Court Technology, and the Whole of Government Center of Excellence.
