Earlier this month, the White House released the National Cybersecurity Strategy, the first issued since 2018. The strategy refocuses roles, responsibilities, and resource allocations in the digital ecosystem, with a five pillar approach. Those pillars are: defending critical infrastructure, disrupting threat actors, shaping market forces to drive security and resilience, investing in a resilient future, and forging international partnerships. We wanted to delve into the strategy and its intended effects further, so Dave Bittner spoke with representatives from industry and inside government. Dave first speaks with Adam Isles, Principal and Head of Cybersecurity Practice at The Chertoff Group, sharing industry's take on the strategy. Following that conversation, Dave had a discussion with Steve Kelly, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Cybersecurity and Emerging Technology at the National Security Council, for a look at the strategy from inside the White House.

For at least two decades, the U.S. intelligence community and special projects agencies have been exploring the potential of prediction markets and crowd-forecasting platforms to better forecast geopolitical and technical trends. Similarly, a number of prominent corporations, including Google, Ford, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, and Eli Lilly, have likewise turned to these tools to predict everything from which product lines will be most profitable to whether a deadline is likely to be met. Yet despite this seeming opportunity, there remains a significant gap: almost nobody has deployed the tools for crowd-forecasting to cybersecurity problems. We propose to change that paradigm. We believe that a cybersecurity-focused forecasting market can create useful value-added information for decision-makers. To test this hypothesis we have begun a small beta test applying the principles of crowd-forecasting directly to a set of cybersecurity questions.This talk will provide background on the use of crowd-forecasting for policy and discuss some interim results of the ongoing beta test.

The Chertoff Group’s Paul Rosenzweig discusses the challenges and dilemmas this technology creates. How far are we willing to go in putting our faith in AI, and can we design it in a way that aligns with our values?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an incredibly powerful tool to help us make predictions, offering the promise of huge advances across all economic sectors and the government. But how do we define AI, what are its benefits, and how can it be applied in a way that’s consistent with our values? Carol Kuntz, a senior advisor with the Chertoff Group, discusses where AI is used today and some thoughts on how we govern its use in the future. She argues that the technology is at a place where public policy choices need to be made about its use.

The electric grid is often described as a lifeline sector for the nation’s critical infrastructure. But most of this sector is privately owned. How can the government and private sector work together to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure? The Chertoff Group’s Scott Gibson and Christian Healion discuss the new Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and how it can function as the public-private sector hub for understanding risk and helping the electric power industry achieve the twin goals of reliability and resiliency.

The Intelligence and National Security Alliance recently released a white paper on security clearance reciprocity - and how failures in policy and process are costing the government thousands of employee man hours.

Cyber threats now rank as the number one threat against U.S. government and business interests. What can the government do to protect businesses against an onslaught of attacks? The Chertoff Group’s Adam Isles and Matthew Eggers of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce discuss the Cyber SAFETY Act – proposed legislation that would modernize an early law put into place after 9/11 to encourage the use of anti-terrorism technology. The legislation, among other things, incentivizes companies to take their product through the Department of Homeland Security’s SAFETY Act vetting process.

A changing business environment has meant that many companies outsource services and have multiple supply chains, introducing new risks from the outside. The Chertoff Group’s Chris Duvall talks about ways to manage third-party risk, the questions companies should be asking, and the looming threat of software subversion. He advises organizations to have a robust third-party program as part of any holistic risk-management strategy.

Organizations are facing increased cybersecurity threats. How should companies assess these risks and put a plan in place to prevent them? The Chertoff Group’s Adam Isles and Kurt Alaybeyoglu discuss MITRE’s ATT&CK threat assessment model that helps companies create individual plans to better understand risks, threats and ways to guard against them.

There’s no such thing as risk elimination. But if businesses focus on the most likely threats, they can minimize the damage. The Chertoff Group’s Adam Isles and Scott Gibson talk about how organizations can manage security risks effectively, the importance of monitoring those risks, and the convergence of both physical and cybersecurity threats.

A brief note to our listeners:  Our “Global Threats” podcast was originally recorded on May 3, 2019.  Since that time, additional events have occurred involving the regions we discuss on the podcast. Geopolitical realities can present risks for companies. The Chertoff Group’s Jonathan Paris, an expert in Middle East, US-China and transatlantic relations, provides regional insights and outlines the risks that Iran poses. What should global companies anticipate in the region?

Sometimes, the greatest risks to a company come from the inside. The Chertoff Group’s Lee Kair and Sean Horner discuss insider risk, why it happens and what can be done to identify and mitigate those risks. They stress the importance of continually monitoring behaviors that can indicate a red flag. And they offer insights on how a robust insider threat program can help all employees and help identify threats before problems arise.

Our devices are increasingly connected through the Internet of Things (IoT). What are the emerging risks associated with this connectivity? Adam Isles, a principal at The Chertoff Group, shares insights about the IoT environment and the need for standards in this space. He calls for security standards to be seamlessly integrated into the software development lifecycle.

Reputational hits can cost a company and damage a business. What’s the role of business intelligence and due diligence when it comes to mitigating risk? The Chertoff Group’s Ben Joelson and Brogan Ingstad discuss the evolution of how companies have managed risk and the steps that should be taken – from mining open-source intelligence sources to navigating the Dark Web – to avoid reputational damage.

A cyber-enabled economic warfare (CEEW) attack designed to undermine America’s strength would have far-reaching strategic and economic consequences.  Should such an attack occur, how would the U.S. government and private sector respond and what would they ask and expect of each other in the immediate aftermath?  Dr. Samantha Ravich, chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation and David London, a senior director at The Chertoff Group, discuss what happened when senior leaders from the public and private sector came together to plan for such a scenario. They highlight the inter-dependencies in our economy and how we can work together to build resilience.

We often focus on cybersecurity, but physical security is just as important. How do companies take the lessons learned from organizations that have experienced tragedies and implement them to keep employees safe? The Chertoff Group’s Ben Joelson and Scott Gibson discuss technologies that could be part of the solution, and what happens when physical security and cybersecurity merge.

Drones have become ubiquitous for a number of commercial and consumer purposes. But what happens when drones land in the wrong hands? The Chertoff Group’s Ben Joelson and Phil Pitsky Vice President of Federal Operations for airspace security company Dedrone discuss the challenges and threats that drones can pose and what can be done under current law to protect from potential risks.

The first months of the Trump administration have confirmed that criminal justice will remain a contentious issue for the foreseeable future. Trump's "law and order" rhetoric on the campaign trail has led to significant changes in federal criminal justice policy. At the state and local levels, lawmakers are struggling with the opioid epidemic, overincarceration, and how to work with new federal enforcement goals.In the current environment, how should legislators tackle the most serious and enduring criminal justice issues? What policies should be implemented? What should officials' priorities be?

Last year, hackers used malware to steal $101 million remotely from a Bangladesh bank from thousands of miles away. Cyberattacks can be as debilitating and dangerous as conventional warfare — particularly in the financial sector, where a single attack could cripple or disrupt global financial systems. This kind of cyber-attack is emerging as a new frontier of potential conflict between nations. Yet there are no norms or policies governing the prevention of cyber financial attacks. So how can countries work together to prevent attacks on financial markets and institutions from rogue nations, and even non-state actors? Tom Carver discussed the threat with Michael Chertoff, former U.S. Secretary of homeland security, and Tim Maurer, co-director of Carnegie's Cyber Policy Initiative. Michael Chertoff is the co-founder and executive chairman of the Chertoff Group. He served as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from 2005 to 2009. (More on Chertoff - https://www.chertoffgroup.com/about-us/our-team/205-michael-chertoff) Tim Maurer is a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and co-directs its Cyber Policy Initiative.
