Co-sponsored by the Institute for Security, Technology, and Society, and the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding. Free and open to all. 

Dr. Ravich will discuss her work on cyber-enabled economic warfare, focusing on how adversaries use cyber strategically to attempt to undermine key components of the U.S. economic, innovation, and financial base to weaken it. 

Dr. Samantha Ravich, Chair of the newly established Transformative Cyber Innovation Lab and Principal Investigator on the Cyber-Enabled Economic Warfare project, both housed at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. The mission of the Lab, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is to improve cyber resilience and facilitate innovation. Also of note, Dr. Ravich very recently was appointed as Vice Chair to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.

Dr. Ravich has spoken frequently on cybersecurity and cyberwarfare as they relate to corporate boards, long-term trends in international security, and the future of intelligence collection and analysis. She previously served as co-chair of the congressionally-mandated National Commission for the Review of R&D Programs in the U.S. Intelligence Community. She also served in the White House as Deputy National Security Advisor to former Vice President Dick Cheney, and as his representative on Asian and Middle Eastern Affairs as well as on Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Proliferation.
