CWRU School of Law – Sumner Canary Lecture

By . March 24th, 2010

“The Cyber Threat”
Jack Landman Goldsmith, Harvard Law School
Yesterday’s Sumner Canary Lecture continued the tradition of bringing excellent lecturers on cutting-edge topics to campus.
Prof. Goldsmith outlined the threat from headline news stories (e.g. Chinese attacks on Google) to the less publicized details (e.g. the theft of $1 trillion in intellectual property by cyber-criminals during 2008.) Cyber-attacks cause damage or data degradation, whereas cyber-exploitation allows the monitoring and copying of information while the computer system seems to be running normally to the end user. Many issues exacerbate the problem of cyber-crime. Preeminent, perhaps, is that attribution is “hard, slow, and uncertain.” Cyber-attacks are often automated and fast. “Offense naturally beats defense.” Geographic boundaries and physical distance do not protect against cyber-crime. People are more dependent on computers and networks which are not secure. It is hard to distinguish between cyber-attacks and cyber-exploitation. There are many bad actors who only have to be right once, whereas cyber-defenders need to be perfect prospectively with respect to all vulnerabilities.
