In honor of our Black Hat Abu Dhabi event, this web cast will take a step back from the deep technical forays Black Hat is know for, and instead give a broader look at the future of cyber conflict in the world. Are we inevitably headed toward a dark and chaotic world, as some of the FUD out there suggests? Will we live in an Orwellian society of watchers and imposed order? What are some realistic views of the next 15 years and beyond?
Pencils down for this one, and give your full attention to our very special guest, Director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative of the Atlantic Council, Jason Healy, as he guides us through an array of possible out comes. Some are more preferable than others...
