FP at Davos: Fighting Cyber Wars


This year began with conflict on nearly every continent, in Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar, and Haiti. But it’s not just armed violence. War has spread to the digital world. Cyberattacks can target civilian infrastructure, create new biothreats, and sow disinformation. What tools can private and governmental actors use to defend against these risks?

At this year’s World Economic Forum summit, FP’s Ravi Agrawal moderated the session ​​“Defending the Cyber Frontlines,” in discussion with leaders in technology, defense, and humanitarian work. The panel included Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross; Joe Kaeser, chairman of the supervisory board of Siemens Energy; Andrius Kubilius, the European Commission’s commissioner for defense and space; Matthew Prince, the co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare; and Samir Saran, president of the Observer Research Foundation.
