Summaries

Summary Sentence: Three professors from Georgia Tech's School of Public Policy address this question in a public forum.

Full Summary:  

American military actions against Iran have led to fears of retaliation and speculation about what form it might take. One possible avenue of retaliation is a cyberattack. How vulnerable to a foreign cyberattack is the country in general and Georgia Tech in particular? What factors would influence Iran’s or any other adversary’s decision to pursue that option?

Speakers:

  • Prof. Milton L Mueller (School of Public Policy) Director the M.S. degree programs in Cybersecurity (Policy). Co-founder and director of the Internet Governance Project (IGP), a policy analysis center for global Internet governance. 
  • Prof. Hans Klein (School of Public Policy) Conducts research on Internet governance and teaches courses on Internet & Public Policy.
  • Prof. Mark Zachary Taylor (School of Public Policy) Conducts research on innovation policy and teaches courses on US government, US foreign policy, and globalization.
