12:45-13:15: Cyber Power – The Shades of Grey
with Dr Mary Haigh, CISO, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence
Cyber Power was mentioned in the recent UK governments Integrated Review 22 times! And yet if you asked 10 people what cyber power is, you’d get 10 different answers. It’s getting lots of funding and attention but it’s very much in an early stage of thinking on what it really means. Is there such a thing as good cyber power and bad cyber power, or is it shades of grey? This shouldn’t just be some debate happening in a dark corner somewhere, this is something that impacts all of us. Looking at the last year I think we’ve all realised just how much our digital infrastructure can enrich our lives and underpin some of our most core societal values. Our trust of this digital infrastructure is vital, to our economy, to our way of life, to our core values as a society. Cyber power has the ability to both strengthen our digital infrastructure and weaken it. This talk explores the different forms of cyber power, the light and the dark, the shades of grey, and how it could impact us in our everyday lives.
