What is the NDAA? And why should you care? This panel, co-hosted by the R Street Institute and the National Security Institute, explored whether the Defense Department has the tools, infrastructure, and workforce to effectively compete with competitors in cyberspace.

“The reality is that today we are in a very real shooting war in cyberspace,” NSI Founder Jamil Jaffer noted during the discussion. “It may not be big bullets, it may not be big bombs or nuclear weapons, but we are in an ongoing offensive campaign brought by our enemies against us.”
