MITRE Grand Challenges Power Hour: Non-State Actor Threats to Critical Infrastructure
Recent attacks on the Colonial Pipeline highlight the cyber threats that increasingly impact the daily lives of everyday consumers. Protecting our critical infrastructure from malicious attacks is essential as, more and more, non-state actors use ransomware threats to imperil our economic security. Join us on Thursday, July 22 for the next installment in the MITRE Grand Challenges Power Hour with Dr. Craig Wiener, MITRE Technical Fellow, and Bill Fehrman, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, as they discuss the rise of ransomware and its impact on critical infrastructure security and technical and policy options for addressing future threats. The conversation will continue with a panel of industry, academic, and government experts moderated by Charles Clancy, Chief Futurist and SVP of MITRE Labs.
