Who is Winning the Global Battle for Cyberspace?

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 24, 2016

According to cyber security expert Adam Segal, an estimated 75% of the world's population has access to a mobile phone, and the Internet now connects 40% of the world's population - approximately 2.7 billion people. In The Hacked World Order: How Nations Fight, Trade, Maneuver, and Manipulate in the Digital Age, Segal looks at how cyber attacks have changed global politics within the past five years, and the shifting power dynamic between governments and private technology companies. 

Event: Adam Segal will be speaking at the National Arts Club (15 Gramercy Park South) on April 19th at 8 p.m.
