Channel: Carnegie Live
Date: 04/10/2018

Cyberspace has become center stage for international competition and confrontation. States increasingly turn to cyber capabilities for political influence and subversion, national security and industrial espionage and sabotage, and military operations. Join Carnegie for a discussion with David Sanger, who has had access to senior officials in the White House, military, and intelligence community as well as in the corporate world grappling with the most severe cyber threats.

Carnegie’s Ariel (Eli) Levite will moderate. Copies of Sanger’s new book, The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age will be available for purchase. A reception and book signing will follow the discussion.

David Sanger is a national security correspondent and senior writer for the New York Times. He has covered cyber conflict in addition to a wide range of national security and foreign policy issues.

Ariel (Eli) Levite is a nonresident senior fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program and co-director of the Cyber Policy Initiative at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Katherine Charlet is the inaugural director of the Technology and International Affairs Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.


The Carnegie Cyber Policy Initiative focuses on addressing international cyber policy challenges, as cyberspace is increasingly central to international security and diplomacy. The Initiative develops and promotes norms and policy recommendations for enhancing international stability and security in cyberspace.
