In this video interview at the recent RSA APJ 2018 conference in Singapore, Hanson discusses:
- How the WannaCry and NotPetya ransomware attacks were watershed incidents;
- Why it's likely that such attacks will continue;
- Why deterrence will be the key to dissuading nation-states from undertaking offensive cyber actions.
Hanson is head of the International Cyber Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. He formerly was a professional Fulbright Scholar at Georgetown University, worked for the United Nations and served as a diplomat at the Australian Embassy in The Hague.
