Aspen Forum

No government agency or private corporation is immune today from cyber-attack, network penetration and loss of sensitive data. The panel “Targeting a Secure Future” at this year’s TPI Aspen Forum will examine whether the current approach to cyber-security is making any headway against this epidemic. Panelists, including key federal policymakers and private sector experts, will explore the government’s responsibility to protect the private sector as well as companies’ obligations (and abilities) to protect their own networks. Given that an effective public-private partnership is broadly viewed as necessary to advance cybersecurity, the panelists will also address whether treating companies that have been hacked as culprits, rather than victims, is sound public policy.

Discounted registration for the Technology Policy Institute Aspen Forum has been extended through Monday, July 7st. The discount of $500 off the regular registration fee is available for industry and trade association attendees.

The U.S. government’s decision to relinquish its historic role in Internet governance has raised questions regarding what’s next for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and, more generally, who will be making policy decisions about the future of the Internet. The panel “Internet Governance in Transition: What’s the Destination?” at the Technology Policy Institute’s 2014 Aspen Forum, will bring together a diverse group of experts to discuss critical internet governance issues.
