Join EPIC on Global Encryption Day to examine recent attacks that have exposed our phone and text messaging systems, how these devastating attacks exploited encryption backdoors Congress created 30 years ago, and to discuss what it will take to secure these systems again.
Our discussion will focus on the 2024 Salt Typhoon attack involving a group of China-backed hackers that cybersecurity leaders have called the most significant cyber incident in U.S. history. This 60-minute webinar features Dr. David Mussington (Professor of the Practice at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy & the former CISA Executive Assistant Director), Nitin Natarajan (former Deputy Director of CISA, Owner of NN Global LLC), Susan Landau (Bridge Professor of Cybersecurity and Policy at Tufts University), and Alan Butler (Executive Director at EPIC) in a discussion about the roots of this devastating breach, the private sector and government response, and critical policy lessons for the future of encryption and communications security, with time for Q&A.
