2.7 Cyber War and Cyber Security

Hacking. Cybercrime. Cyberwarfare. It cuts to the heart of modern life, and the essential functions of modern society. Now, as one of the major players in cyberwarfare engages in total war, we need to understand the vulnerabilities we have to cyberattack, and how we can deal with them without sacrificing the connectivity we depend on as a global society. Catlyn Kirna, Lecturer of International Relations at TLU and Cyber Security Consultant with CGI Estonia, join our host Terry McDonald to talk about cyberwar, cybersecurity, how you can do your part for cyber defence, and how some hackers are like the Wet Bandits from Home Alone. 

This episode is brought to you as part of the 10th Annual Tallinn University Symposium of International Relations, which received funding from the European Regional Development Fund through the institutional package measure for R&D institutions and higher education institutions (ASTRA project TLU TEE of Tallinn University; University of Tartu’s ASTRA project PER ASPERA)) and is organized by Doctoral School in Economics and Innovation.
