Dr. Herb Lin: Cyber Conflict & Cooperation: The Role of Russia [AUDIO]

Audio/Video

Dr. Herb Lin gave a talk in memory of William Martel, the late international security expert at the Fletcher School, during a special program on Cybersecurity on Thursday, February 26th, 2015 at the 30th Annual EPIIC Symposium on Russia in the 21st Century.

Dr. Herb Lin is senior research scholar for cyber policy and security at the Center for International Security and Cooperation and Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, both at Stanford University.

Program on Cyber Conflict and Cooperation: The Role of Russia: 
Russia plays a formidable role in the cyber domain. It possesses a potent arsenal of cyberweapons, is a major presence in regional and international efforts to codify norms of cyber conduct, and is at the center of contemporary debates about internet freedom and governance. No major international cooperative effort in the cyber domain is meaningful without Russia’s participation in it; no conception of the future of cybersecurity is complete without an understanding of Russia’s impact on it. Russia, in short, is crucial both to the understanding of cybersecurity challenges and to the formulation of effective policy responses to them.
