Edward Snowden's revelations about the internet surveillance operations of the NSA shocked publics, but merely confirmed what many in the field of information security had long known and suspected. Now that the extent of government activity in the 'fifth domain' is more widely appreciated, what are the implications of surveillance, big data, malware and hacking for individuals and societies, and what kinds of conversations do we need to have about the rules of cyberspace?
This event is free and open to all with no ticket or pre-registration required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For more information please email us here.
