This week, we're joined by Gary Corn to discuss U.S. and international legal and policy issues associated with cyberattacks, especially those involving nation states or which may require U.S. government assistance. This episode explores the role of the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, other federal agencies, and how they may be engaged in response to private sector attacks. We also discuss the concepts of “forward defense” and “persistent engagement,” as well as President Biden’s recent statement that the U.S. will no longer respond to cyberattacks solely through law enforcement. In addition, we talk about the international legal framework and the role the U.S. should be playing with respect to cyber policy and legal frameworks. Gary Corn is the Program Director of the Tech, Law & Security program at American University’s Washington College of Law and an adjunct professor of cyber and national security law. One of the most prolific writers on the topic of cyberwar and cyber conflict, Gary is a retired Army colonel who is widely recognized as one of the nation’s top experts on these topics. Prior to his retirement from the Army after 27 years of servicer, Gary served as Staff Judge Advocate (General Counsel) to the U.S. Cyber Command.
