Come and join TIC Consortium in its second event in Old Town Alexandria on May 23rd at 2pm for a panel discussion about emerging technologies and considerations for hybrid warfare.
Wars of the future will only be more complex. Consider the following scenario: China pressures US firms to censor Chinese individuals. Meanwhile, the EU also wants hate speech removed in 24 hours. This is all while a California lawmaker argues that strong encryption online aids human trafficking.
What will all of these political and cultural pressures mean for the future of cyber defense and attack? What are the emerging technologies, ethical considerations and policy initiatives that should be pursued? How should companies be positioning and teaming in order to provide the best products and services for the next conflict?
