The Foley Institute’s Coffee & Politics Series continues with Nelson Dong, who will discuss:
China & Cybersecurity
As more companies and government agencies go online, cybersecurity is an increasing concern. Cyber-attacks coming from China in particular have been rising, with most cases targeting U.S. intellectual property and state secrets. Though the Chinese government claims there are efforts to control the online crime, President Obama has approached Chinese president Xi Jinping with hopes to protect U.S. information and data.
