Potomac Institute Cyber Center Seminar:  To bring to life the gravity of how our current cyber approach is failing and to suggest what a successful strategy may look like, Dr. Ben Sheppard will outline four scenarios:

3.     Citizen networks replace US governance failure

4.     Hacked aircraft disasters and collective action
