Abstract: Digital technologies impact nearly all aspects of everyday life, from communications and medical care to electricity and government services. Societal reliance on digital tools should be paired with efforts to secure societal resilience. A resilience agenda involves preparing for, adapting to, withstanding, and recovering from disruptions in ways that advance societal interests, goals, and values. It is also well-suited to address both disruptions to computer systems—whether from cyberattacks or natural disasters—and disruptions to the information environment from disinformation campaigns that sow discord. This presentation will identify tactics to bolster resilience against digitally enabled threats across three temporal phases: anticipating and preparing for disruptions, adapting to and withstanding disruptions, and recovering from disruptions.
This Future of Law in Technology and Governance Scholarly Seminar is co-sponsored by the Center for Governance and Markets and the Center for Bioethics & Health Law
