The Cyberlaw Podcast

The Cyberlaw Podcast kicks off a series exploring Section 702 – the half-US/half-foreign collection program that has proven effective against terrorists while also proving controversial with civil liberties groups. With the program due to expire on December 31, we’ll examine the surveillance controversies spawned by the program. Today, we look at the “upstream” collection program under section 702.

This week's podcast covers the Russia sanctions bill, radio silence from Silicon Valley on 702 renewal, and an interview with Dave Aitel.

In this episode, we interview Jim Miller, co-chair of a Defense Science Board panel that reported on how the US is postured for cyberconflict and the importance of deterrence. The short answer: deterring cyberconflict is important because our strategic cyberconflict posture sucks. The DSB report is thoughtful, detailed, and troubling.

In Episode 172, we cover last week's collusion stories, the CFIUS logjam, and the failure of the UN CGE to produce a final report.
