Watch live: The future of the Iranian cyberthreat

Join a panel discussion with the Atlantic Council analyzing the latest developments in Iranian cybercapabilities and discussing the chances of larger cyberconflict involving Iran.

  • By Staff

Iran's interim nuclear deal with the P5+1 negotiators has been hailed at the White House and greeted with ambivalence in the halls of Congress.

But how it impacts Iran in cyberspace remains to be seen. Iranian cyberconfrontations have been among the world's most explosive in recent years, including both attacks from Iran, such as disruption of the US banking sector and against Gulf energy companies, and against Iran, such as Stuxnet and the Wiper worm. 

Should the interim deal disintegrate, what are the chances of renewed cyberconflict in the years to come? And should it hold up, how might that impact Iran's cyber posture? Discuss that and more with experts from The Atlantic Council on Wednesday, April 8.

Remarks: Gen. James L. Jones, Jr. USMC (Ret.), Founder, Jones Group International

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
