Global Fragmentation in Cyber Policy

Governments around the world face daunting challenges in securing cyberspace, protecting online privacy, and managing the flows of data.  As these governments consider laws and policies to confront these challenges, there is growing divergence of approaches across the European Union, Asia, and the United States, potentially fragmenting global markets.  With regional views from Europe and Estonia, China, India, and the United States, our discussion will focus on the need for harmonization and cooperation on global approaches to cybersecurity and regulating emerging technologies.

Discussion will be moderated by Samm Sacks, senior fellow, Technology Policy Program, and speakers will include Chris Painter, the former coordinator for cyber issues at the U.S. Department of State; Helen Popp, the second secretary of digital policy and economic affairs at the Estonian Embassy; Tommy Ross, the senior director for Policy at BSA | The Software Alliance; and Jay Gullish, the head for digital economy, media and entertainment at the U.S.-India Business Council.

Light refreshments will be served from 9:00 - 9:30 AM. 

This event is made possible through the support of BSA | The Software Alliance.
