Cyber attacks are becoming the weapon of choice for states, terrorists and criminal organisations. Through the fragile, interconnected structure of the web, anything can be hacked - from national infrastructure to an individual's identity. The recent worldwide Ransomware epidemic, for example, affected more than 200.000 computers in 150 countries, targeting individuals and global companies including Fedex. The nightmare scenario of an entire city's physical infrastructure being brought down by cybercriminals is well within the realms of possibility. As tensions escalate, will they explode into traditional military conflict? Or — almost as frightening — will countries wall off their intemets to protect themselves, bringing the dream of a global. open worldwide web to an end? To discuss this pressing topic, Intelligence Squared are bringing together a panel of the world's top intelligence professionals and cyber experts: Jeh Johnson. former Homeland Security Secretary under President Obama. who led the agency during Russia's cyber attack on the 2016 election: Oxford professor and internationally renowned cyber security specialist Sadie Creese, who recently advised the government's defence review of the 'internet of things': and Jamie Bartlett, renowned digital technology expert and author who presented the recent BBC series 'Secrets of Silicon Valley'. How should the West respond to cyber aggression from hostile states? In the new fog of cyberwar. terror, crime and state hostility are all intermingled on the same battlefield. How do governments and intemational institutions set about regulating this complex new landscape? Join us on October 23rd and have your chance to put your questions to our star panel.
