You are cordially invited to attend a special Capitol Hill discussion on
The Law and Active Cyber Defense
Sponsored by the Daniel Morgan Academy
In Cooperation with the Office of Senator Mark Kirk
Russell Senate Office Building, Room 188
Thursday, April 21, 2016
5:00 - 6:00 PM
The purpose of his event is to advance thinking on active cyber defense (less euphemistically known as cyber offense). At issue is whether U.S. law can be interpreted to allow a private sector actor to retaliate for an intrusion by hacking the hacker back. That is to say, by committing the same offense perpetrated against that actor. It has long been accepted that the U.S. Government can commit active cyber defense and the private sector cannot. Accordingly, the question is whether U.S. law as it stands can be interpreted to permit retaliation or do we need new law.
