The Future of Cyber Security and Security Innovation

Now that an industry of social network manipulation has risen, phenomena like the Arab Spring are likely a thing of the past. That’s part of what you’ll learn with this complete video compilation of Suits and Spooks 2015 in Washington, D.C., the unique technology event that helps unmask the cold realities of cyber conflict, espionage, and crime.
