Panel to Discuss Cyber-Crime and Cyber-Terrorism
By Andrew Cochran
The Counterterrorism Foundation co-sponsored a panel on the subject of "Meta-Terror: Terrorism & the Virtual World" on February 29, and it was one of our most heavily attended and widely publicized events. The panel, which included Contributing Experts Evan Kohlmann and Roderick Jones, discussed the next generation of the terrorists’ use of the virtual world. You can listen to a BBC interview of several of us on the subject. One of the panelists in that event, Kenneth Silva, the Senior VP and Chief Technology Officer of VeriSign, will be a panelist on a public event tomorrow, October 16, on the issue. Titled "Cyber-Crime and Cyber-Terrorism--No Silver Bullet Solution," the event will be held at 12 pm ET in Room 188 of the Russell Senate Building in Washington, DC. Topics will include:
-- New threats from organized crime and international terrorism;
-- How to be more responsible in protecting yourself from these threats; and
-- What's being done "behind the scenes" to keep Internet users more safe, including a multi-layer approach proposed by industry.
The other panelists will include Michael Kaiser, Executive Director of the National Cyber Security Alliance, and Steve DelBianco, Executive Director of NetChoice.
