Watch: Online communities and the future of national security

Join the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative and Passcode on Thursday, July 14 for a panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges posed by disruptive technologies and self-regulating online communities.

Passcode is proud to serve as the sole media partner for the Cyber Risk series of events with the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative.听Please join us on Thursday, July 14 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.听for a panel discussion with a group of prominent cybersecurity experts.

Internet connectivity has empowered communities of people in unprecedented ways, enabling them to interact across physical borders while gaining access to new technologies like 3D printing, biohacking, and artificial intelligence.

Highly skilled communities of security researchers, tinkerers, hobbyists, and innovators advance science and engineering faster than governments and companies can catch up.

However, hacktivists and terrorist groups can employ these very same skills and tools to conduct disruptive cyber attacks.

Can the overwhelming number of good actors in these online communities of interest be creatively mobilized to combat nefarious activities in their midst? Must we trade innovation for national security, or can they reinforce each other? What happens when you drop military counterproliferation operators into the hacker spaces of Silicon Valley?

Please join the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative on聽Thursday, July 14聽from聽4:00聽to 5:30 p.m.听for a discussion on the opportunities and challenges posed by disruptive technologies and self-regulating online communities.
