I am a Research Scientist at the Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute
at George Washington University’s School of Engineering. My work spans
technology and policy, focusing on cybersecurity and
privacy issues. I am the co-author of Cybersecurity
and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know,
released in 2014 by Oxford University Press. The book offers comprehensive
overview of the myriad risks we face in cyberspace today. It is written in
easy-to -understand Q&A style, explaining key technical and policy issues
while sharing interesting illustrative stories that will keep even veteran
cyber types engaged. The book has been described by the Chairman of Google as
"an essential read" and by the former Supreme Allied Commander of
NATO as "most approachable and readable book ever written on the cyber
world." More info at www.cybersecuritybook.com Previously, I was the Research
Director for the new Center
for Technology Innovation at the Brookings
Institution and a Fellow in the Governance Studies
Program, where I worked on a wide range of information technology policy
issues. Before moving to Washington, I was a
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Harvard Computer Science department at the Center for Research in Computation and
Society, a Research Fellow at the Belfer
Center for Science and International Affairs, where I worked on cybersecurity research and supervised student research
with the MIT/Harvard Minerva
Project . I was also affiliated with the Berkman Center
for Internet and Society. |
