Our Infrastructures - Online And Vulnerable? Part 1 of 3
From electricity usage to municipal water consumption, from traffic lights to dams, our world is monitored by computer systems. But the control systems that warn of impending problems may themselves be vulnerable to failure or attack because they are often online or otherwise hackable. Are they safe enough for lives to depend on them? Join a panel of experts who will take us into this invisible but critical world.
This program is presented by The Center for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity at the University of Washington Information School and sponsored by UW Institute for National Security Education and Research and The UW Master of Strategic Planning for Critical Infrastructures online graduate program, with additional support fro The Information School, The Pacific Northwest Center for Global Security, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
