| 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM | Bad Company featuring Misha Glenny
Crime pays, and criminals are actors on the world stagewhose powerful (if often hidden) role in the modern world has fully yet to be understood. Criminals run globe-spanning businesses that supply narcotics, trafficked people, and illegal services. They arm insurgents and destabilize governments. They bypass national and international regulations on everything from financial transactions to environmental standards. Professor Mark Galeotti, CGA academic chair and an expert on transnational and organized crime, hosts a series of conversations with scholars and security analysts that illuminate the workings of the global underworld: what it does, how it does it, and what this means for us all.
Darkmarket: Cybercrime, Cyberwarfare and Cyberespionage
Misha Glenny, Journalist; Former Correspondent, BBC
The benefits of living in a digital, globalized society are enormous; so too are the dangers. We bank online; shop online; date, learn, work, and live online. But have the institutions that keep us safe on the streets learned to protect us in the burgeoning digital world? Have we become complacent about our personal security—sharing our thoughts, beliefs, and the details of our daily lives with anyone who might care to relieve us of them? Glenny, formerly of the BBC, is an investigative journalist and broadcaster who first tackled the interconnections of the global underworld in his McMafia (2008), and has most recently written DarkMarket: Cyberthieves, Cybercops and You (2011), drawing on interviews with hackers, victims and law enforcers alike. He will discuss the challenges of this new virtual underworld and what—if anything—can be done about them.
