Senior Fellow

In early April, Russian cyber hackers penetrated unclassified networks at the White House and seized the Secret Service鈥檚 daily schedule for the president. Less than a week later, U.S. cybersecurity firm FireEye revealed that Chinese hackers have waged a decade-long cyber espionage campaign across South East Asia. Current and former FBI directors have expressed certainty that all large companies have been hacked by the Chinese and all of the White House networks have been infiltrated by Russian and Chinese hackers.

Every month brings alarming evidence that Russia and China are expanding their cyberattacks in the U.S. and throughout the world, particularly in Asia. On May 12th, former Congressman Mike Rogers, past chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and current Hudson distinguished fellow, joined Senior Fellow Arthur Herman for a conversation on the scope of the threat and how the U.S. should respond.

As member and then chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Congressman Mike Rogers has followed America鈥檚 cyberwar with China and Russia for more than a decade. Arthur Herman, author of Freedom鈥檚 Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II, has written several articles on cyberwarfare and cyber strategy.
