On Cyber Security with Lauri Almann
Wednesday, 11 August, 2021

With the increase of high profile cyber attacks, it has become undeniable that this issue is one of the most pressing for security. There is currently a huge vulnerability to all our key infrastructures, like health care, transit, and energy. To discuss how Europe is doing and what the future of cyber attacks is going to look like we are joined by Lauri Almann. Mr. Almann is the co-founder of CybExer Technologies and a former secretary general of the Estonian Ministry of Defence. He joined us at the Prague European Summit at the Czernin Palace in Prague, Czech Republic, and had some optimistic news about cyber defence. Why is predicting the next big cyber threat more difficult today than it was seven years ago? What can the Biden administration do to strengthen global cyber security? How effective is European cybersecurity cooperation? How should we respond to ransomware attacks, and why does Mr. Almann believe we should allow ransom payments? In this episode of the ESJ Insight, we discuss all of this and more.
