Susan Landau, Professor of Cyber Security and Policy in Computer Science, Tufts University
Policymakers and computer scientists speak different languages. Getting tech policy right requires technologists to learn how to communicate so policymakers can understand the issues and make reasonable judgements. In this keynote, I present lessons learned from twenty-five years of policy work in cybersecurity.
