EVENT DETAILS

Twenty-five years after the end of the Cold War, the United States is once again engaged in an arms race—only this time the armaments of choice are the very technologies on which modern civilization depends. Join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David E. Sanger as he explores how nations that once embraced the airplane, the Bomb, and the drone see cyber technology as a weapon to be wielded in peacetime and wartime. China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran have all unleashed cyber weapons in pursuit of their national interests in the last three years—but few countries are as organized and advanced as the United States, even while cloaking its program in great secrecy.

David E. Sanger is the chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times and author of Confront and Conceal: Obama’s Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power.
