Vulnerabilities of an Inter-connected World

Midday on WNYC | Sep 4, 2018

Bruce Schneier discusses his new book Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyper-connected World. Computers are connected to everything small and large from home appliances like ovens and thermostats to large industrial sites like chemical plants. Digital attackers can now crash your car, your pacemaker, and the nation’s power grid. Schneier reveals the hidden web of technical, political, and market forces that underpin the pervasive insecurities of today’s connected world. 

On September 17 Bruce Schneier will be having a talk moderated by Ben Wizner at 12:30 pm at the Center of National Security at Fordham Law (150 West 62nd Street).

This segment is guest hosted Jenna Flanagan.
