Chair: Lilly Pijnenburg Muller

Speakers: Dr Eugenio Lilli

Election interference and the global coronavirus pandemic have focused people’s attention on the complex link between cybersecurity and national security. In this talk, Dr Eugenio Lilli will explore ways in which the private sector can contribute to a country’s effort to deter malicious cyber-activities. Whilst this is a critical aspect of national security, Dr Lilli will argue that private-sector cybersecurity activities could also create a number of security, legal and moral issues whose importance should not be overlooked.

Dr Lilli's talk will be followed by a discussion with Dr Tim Stevens (War Studies) and a public Q&A.
