Dr Tim Stevens, Reader in International Security at King’s College London's Department of War Studies, explores the diverse practises for managing cyber risk.
About the event
The risks arising from digital connectivity are many and varied, ranging from cybercrime and online harms to inter-state cyberwarfare and cyberespionage. Diverse practices for managing cyber risk have emerged that seek to avoid, accept, mitigate and transfer risk in complex assemblages of public and private actors. This talk, hosted by the Centre for the Study of Democracy, will explore these forms of governmentality through the lens of ‘cyber riskscapes’ that illuminate the rationalities and practices of cyber risk management, in particular the central role of uncertainty in shaping the political economies of cyber risk.
