Cyber-Security
Rustat Conference
22 March, 2011
Could a country’s – or company’s - infrastructure be destroyed as decisively by a cyber-attack, as by an armed invasion by air and land? With Google seeking the assistance of the US intelligence community following alleged cyber attacks and espionage oriented hacking on its systems from China, increasingly, say experts, yes. If so, how can one defend against that and identify the criminals?
Society's increasing reliance on IT infrastructure creates risks as well as opportunities to be exploited by criminals. Whether through online financial fraud, the dangers posed by hacking, cyber-attacks, or the extensive use of the internet by terrorists and other extremists, the risks to international and national security are increasing. But this is not simply a problem for governments and companies – the threat is also seen as very real by individuals whose identities and personal data are increasingly at risk as more and more information sits online in cyberspace.
This Rustat Conference will bring together a group of academic experts with leaders from the technology and online industries, politics, energy, defence, the law, the media, and the security services.
