August 18: Dr. Scott Shackelford

By on August 13, 2020

The Rotary Club of Indianapolis welcomes Dr. Scott Shackelford, Cybersecurity Program Chair, Indiana University on Tuesday, August 18

COVID-19 has resulted in one of the largest work-from-home situations in U.S. history. As hackers discover new ways to exploit the security vulnerabilities created by the pandemic, cybersecurity is under new levels of stress, resulting in a substantial increase in cybersecurity risks for businesses. The FBI recently reported that the number of complaints about cyberattacks to their Cyber Division is up to as many as 4,000 a day which is a 400% increase from before coronavirus. Also, as we look forward to the November election cybersecurity has become a top issue.

Join us next week to hear from fellow Rotarian Dr. Scott Shackelford the Cybersecurity Program Chair at Indiana University and the Executive Director of the Ostrom Workshop Program on Cybersecurity and Internet Governance as he will tell us how we can protect ourselves in this new normal and digital age.

Dr. Shackelford is an Affiliated Scholar at both the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Stanford’s Center for Internet and Society, as well as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, and a Term Member at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Dr. Shackelford has written more than 100 articles, book chapters, essays, and op-eds for diverse outlets ranging from the American Business Law Journal to the Christian Science Monitor. Similarly, Dr. Shackelford’s research has been covered by diverse outlets, including NPR, Forbes, Time, Associated Press, Indy Star, Washington Post, and the LA Times. He is also the author of Managing Cyber Attacks in International Law, Business, and Relations: In Search of Cyber Peace. Both Dr. Shackelford’s academic work and teaching have been recognized with numerous awards, including a Harvard University Research Fellowship, a Stanford University Hoover Institution National Fellowship, a Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study Distinguished Fellowship, the 2014 Indiana University Outstanding Junior Faculty Award, and the 2015 Elinor Ostrom Award.
