[Tech Republic - New York] January 26th: How US Companies Can Defend Against Cyberattacks


Jack is really a storyteller, international explorer, and humanitarian and everything else rolls out from there. As a writer, its what he does. As a trial lawyer and trial skills teacher aroud the world, its his most important tool. As a former CIA officer, the only way to truly motivate people is to connect and to tell them a story that they can feel viscerally. As a media analyst, what better way to make a point. In the end, he tries to captivate his audience about the world and its people as much as he himself is captivated.

I appear on Tech Republic with an old friend Dan Patterson. Dan and I go way back and have worked around the world together. Today we talked about how a very sophisticated Russian op was able to exploit US. social media and attempt to impact a U.S. election. Simply put, this is what intelligence organizations do. Frankly, one has to have professional admiration for their efforts and the impact that they have had on American politics, the perception of the legitimacy of the elections and even how lingering questions have played a role in stymieing President Trump in his first year in office.
This was a great interview because we focused less on the politics and far more on the technology of the efforts. In additon, we also looked not just at what was but also what is happening and what may happen in the future. Hope you can catch this
