How can the US prevent a major cyber attack, and how should it respond to one? Are there policy models from other realms that we can draw upon to develop a strategy for cyber defense, cyber deterrence, or cyber offensives? And how important is cyber defense for national security in the 21st Century? These and other questions were considered by experts in cyber security and defense policy on October 20, 2011 as they discussed one of the major emerging security challenges of the new century. Moderated by Associate Professor of Government Daryl Press, panelists included: Martin Libicki, RAND Corporation; Herb Lin, National Research Council; and Jon Lindsay, University of California, San Diego. The panel was co-sponsored by ISTS and the War and Peace Studies Program of the Dickey Center for International Understanding.
