Watch live: Cybersecurity in 2015

After Sony, Target, and other attacks, what's ahead in 2015?

  • By Staff

A year ago, cybersecurity experts were calling 2013 "the year of the data breach" only to find 2014 had far worse in store. Not only did the year see massive intrusions at some of America's most trusted companies, but critical vulnerabilities undiscovered for years were laid bare.

Perhaps most dangerous of all, nations seem increasingly comfortable using cyber operations in the murky space between peace and war.  

With all of that as prologue, join the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative on Jan. 21 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. for a moderated discussion on what we learned about cybersecurity in 2014 and what to expect in the year to come.

This event is the first in the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Risk Wednesday series in 2015. It’s presented by Cyber Risk Wednesday media partner Passcode, the new cybersecurity section from The Christian Science Monitor.

The panel will include Shane Harris, senior intelligence and national security correspondent for the Daily Beast, and Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder & CTO of CrowdStrike. It will be moderated by Daniel Y. Chiu, deputy director of the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security at the Atlantic Council.

The trio will discuss Harris' new book “@War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex,” the trends in cybersecurity derived from breaches and incidents such as Target and Sony in 2014, and what we are likely to see in digital privacy and security in 2015.

Please register for the event here. A livestream will be available on CSMonitor.com and AtlanticCouncil.org starting a few minutes before the start of the event.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
