Participate in an interactive "choose your own adventure" conference session that explores the intersection of cybersecurity threats and human survival needs through the lens of hybrid warfare. Examine how destructive cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure systems like water, power, and emergency services can systematically undermine Maslow's hierarchy of needs, creating cascading societal vulnerabilities. Navigate through realistic scenarios using a WarGames framework to understand how adversaries might exploit dependencies between physical and digital systems to achieve strategic objectives without traditional military engagement. Analyze the psychological and social impacts when basic human needs are threatened through cyber means, and explore how these attacks can destabilize communities by targeting the foundational elements of safety, security, and well-being. Engage with expert facilitators Bryson Bort and Josh Corman as they guide participants through decision points that illuminate the complex relationships between technology failures, human behavior, and national security in an era where the boundaries between cyberspace and physical reality continue to blur.
