Mark Warner to deliver major cybersecurity address

U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and co-founder of the Senate Cybersecurity Caucus, will deliver a major policy speech at the Center for a New American Security on Friday on the need for a U.S. cyber doctrine.

Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, relying on a hybrid strategy of conventional cyber-theft, weaponized leaks, and wide-scale social media disinformation, marked a turning point in how we understand the threat landscape. And these active measures have continued well past the 2016 election, illustrating the pressing need for the United States to develop a clear and explicit plan for responding to any future attacks.

In his remarks, Sen. Warner will call for a “whole-of-society” doctrine to respond to the cyber and misinformation threats facing our nation.

Following his remarks, CNAS experts will hold a panel discussion.
