Digital Dawn: Cyber Security Policy in the Wake of Political Change With less than 2 weeks until the U.S. presidential election, we are urging the new administration to take a whole of society approach to tackling cyber threats. As we explore in our Digital Dawn report, while government rhetoric reflects the need for everyone to play their role in securing cyberspace, this is not yet consistently reflected across national cyber strategies, policies and legal frameworks. Harley Geiger, Counsel at Venable LLP and Coordinator at the Hacking Policy Council shared his views on what the whole of society approach should look like in practice.
