News of extensive Russian hacking of a number of U.S. government agencies and major corporations broke recently, prompting many questions about the strength of our cybersecurity. Why was the Russian hacking not detected by any of the government agencies that have cybersecurity roles? Is our reliance on private companies for our nation’s cybersecurity strategy appropriate, or does this pose a vulnerability?

Our speaker, Kristin Judge, is founder of the nonprofit Cybercrime Support Network. The Cybercrime Support Network works with federal, state and local law enforcement and consumer protection agencies to help consumers and small businesses affected by cybercrime.

Ms. Judge’s extensive background includes her role as Director of Government Affairs at the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) where she worked with Google, FTC, FBI, SBA, DHS, NIST, congressional leaders and other key stakeholders across the country to educate consumers and businesses on how to protect sensitive data.
