This week, we welcome Dick Clarke to discuss his new book, The Fifth Domain, and the need for cyber resilience, especially these days. Significant risks are still manageable, but what are the concrete steps that can be taken toward cyber resilience. In conversations with leading scientists, government officials, and corporate executives, the prevailing consensus is that we are capable of defending ourselves as individuals, as organizations, and as a nation, but that our cyber security remains contingent on the a consensus that it is worth prioritizing.
Richard Clarke is an internationally known expert on cyber security, having been the first “cyber czar” for the US Government and writing the first National Strategy for Cybersecurity. He is the co-author of nine books, including the NYT #1 best seller, Against All Enemies, and two seminal books on cyber security, Cyber War (2010) and The Fifth Domain (2019). He served in a variety of senior positions in the White House (Special Assistant to the President), Pentagon, and State Department (Assistant Secretary) for over 30 years before teaching at Harvard Kennedy School for five years, being an on-air expert for ABC News for fifteen years, and founding Good Harbor, a cyber risk management consultancy, in 2004. Clarke has served on the board of directors of MultiPlan (nyse:MPLN), Sectigo, Veracode, CarbonBlack, BlueCat Networks, and the Middle East Institute.
