Please join the McCrary Institute and Cyberspace Solarium Commission (CSC) for a 90-minute live event discussing if deterrence is possible in cyberspace.

The CSC’s March 2020 final report detailed a strategy of “layered cyber deterrence.” Layered cyber deterrence is a whole-of-nation strategy that involves three main lines of effort: shaping behavior, denying benefits, and imposing costs. These lines of effort are ways of adding a deterrent layer that increases American public- and private-sector security by altering how adversaries perceive the costs and benefits of using cyberspace to attack American interests. The three deterrent layers are supported by six policy pillars that organize more than 80 recommendations. These pillars represent the means to implement layered cyber deterrence.

Institute Director and Solarium Commissioner Frank J. Cilluffo will moderate a two-panel discussion which will include Q&A. Please submit a question here or live on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube.
