An early adopter of information technology, Estonia was also one of the first victims of a cyber attack. In 2007, large-scale Distributed Denial of Service attacks took place, mostly against government websites and financial services. The damages of these attacks were not remarkable, but they did give the country's security experts valuable experience and information in dealing with such incidents. Eight years on, the Wilson Center is pleased to welcome Estonia's President Toomas Hendrik Ilves for a keynote address on the state of cybersecurity, privacy, and the digital economy.
LOCATION:
6th Floor, Woodrow Wilson Center
Event Speakers List:
