Confronting Nation State Hackers and Cyberspies.

Cyber Media Forum

Wednesday, April 28, 2021

Moderator:  Let me welcome all of the journalists and others who are on the call with us today.  I’m David Ensor, Director of the Project for Media and National Security at the George Washington University.  This is a session of something we’re calling the Cyber Media Forum.  The Project also runs something called the Defense Writers Group which has existed for 40 years and what we try to do is bring journalists together with knowledgeable officials and experts.  Basically these are sort of beat reporter discussions with journalists who actually focus in on an area.  This obviously we’re focusing on cyber and cybersecurity and we’re honored today to have the Assistant Attorney General for National Security of the United States Mr. John Demers as our guest.  I’m going to chat with him for the first portion of this session and then we’re going to open it to and I will recognize one by one journalists who are on the call to ask questions and you’ll get a chance to ask a question and maybe a short follow-up.
