Video: Security in an Age of Catastrophic Risk
In cyberspace and out, we’re increasingly confronting extremely-low-probability, extremely-high-damage attacks. Protecting against these sorts of risks requires new ways of thinking about security; one that emphasizes agility and resilience, while avoiding worst-case thinking.

Audio: How Secure Is Your Data?
For this week’s Friday Roundtable, we dive into the issues of data security discussed in Bruce Schneier’s new book “Data and Goliath.”
Schneier writes in his introduction: “Here is what’s true: Today’s technology gives governments and corporations robust capabilities for mass surveillance.”
Schneier and two other technology and security experts joined the Roundtable to talk about the state of data security.
Highlights from the conversation
Cell phones have become surveillance devices – for better or worse.
“The cell phone knows who you talk to, what time you talked to them, what time you wake up in the morning, what time you go to sleep at night. It knows who you sleep with because you’ve both got a phone,” said Schneier. “It is an amazing surveillance device and something we would never allow if the government mandated it. Of course, we pick it up every morning and put in our pocket, not because we’re putting a surveillance device in our pocket but because it’s an incredibly useful tool that really we can’t live without anymore.”…

You are under surveillance right now.
Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who’s with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you’re unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you’re thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it.
The powers that surveil us do more than simply store this information. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices we’re offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches…
