Tap, turn the volume to 11, get staired and, oh, by the way, trust me to give the solution more you. For you. And instead we have to turn this issue into something where we understand that as long as we use the internet, there will be cybersecurity and cyber war threats. Its all about how do we manage them, how do we become more resilient in our both technical approach, but i would argue even more so in our psychological approach to it. Did they fall into certain categories . Professors of Computer Science at a University Like this would say be useful to you . How did you inform yourself about this issue . Great question. One is the challenge for journalists, it is actually two ways. One is the challenge of how do i report on this space on cybersecurity . There is an assumption it is this feels, into one little area, everything from the wall street beat to the china beach, cybersecurity woven into it. You cant tell the story out target is going to be in the next quarter to u. S. china relations without understanding these parts of it and the we have to demystify it. The second is by the way, journalists being targeted, being targeted because of what the report on and the information they have inside. Famously in the book we examine the case where the New York Times was hacked back to a Chinese Military unit that is right beside a massage parlor and a wine store. The point is they went after the New York Times not because it was a traditional intellectual property. And times reporters, doing a story about corruption in the senior levels of chinese government. The second question was methodology. Your methodology. Your methodology has to involve the versification of sources and so you want you will notice for example, different nationalities, reference different agencies. You want to be reaching out to experts and academic journals in different fields, also again, you will notice, referencing numbers and leaving anecdotes and numbers, they are powerful, they illustrate something, when you have an issue where there is not firm in data, one example of an anecdote, the data set is a certain way. The numbers matter and compare things across but that is one of the things that has been in the news stories very challenging for reporters because they are trying to balance both capture an area they fear their audience doesnt understand and also rewarded for height. We talk about this story that was covered by major media and fox news had it and it was a warning that the internet was going to break. Millions are going to lose access to the internet with headlines. It was really at play, there was a case involving fbi and the like. The point is journalists today, more rewarded for the eyeball grabbing headlines than substance and so that means you will often see these things reported as fact. If you pullback you go that is not the case. That would be everything from famously, stunningly, 60 minutes reported a story about a cyberattack that took down a brazilian power grid, didnt happen, just didnt happen to more recently a couple dudes to use rifles to issue Power Transformers at a single site. I did become a major news story in the wall street journal. I then got a series of phone calls from journalists calling for my opinion on this cyberattack. It is a daughter who a double layer thing. The last question about hysteria and psychological approaches, 600,000 people in pennsylvania without power, wall street journal has a news story about an attack by rifles that didnt leave anyone without power but you also have a bunch of people interpreting that as a cyberattack. This is a problem set. Maybe one more question. Question here . May be another professor of computers . [inaudible] there is no global mechanism to unfolds another three. Information and Something Like that. In that case [inaudible] and people in the country. That is the moment. Great question. I was flashing my head to indicate washington as well. What can we do about this anonymous group. One is to better understand it and picture their lives differently and particularly because it is iconic use of waste portrayed in the media. One to understand the group and understand it is not centralized, understand the group and understand the motivation, what can we do . One is consistently the groups that it targeted have been groups that in some way, shape or form threatened internet freedom. That chapter begins by saying with all good stories it begins with tom cruise. It is one of the first major incidents when he had an embarrassing video online and scientology tried to rip that off on line and put them on the radar screen and essentially anonymous versus scientology but it went on against groups against authoritarian regimes that were trying to cut off their internet and in turn particularly linked to the wiki leaks episode governments like the u. S. That are unhappy with transparency. One is dont get on their target list. Not being on their target list is not to threaten internet freedom. I got to deal with the response. That is where there is nothing specifically unique about anonymous. Many of the things you were talking about, not sharing information, not having records. You know this, it is not just about records to know what happened but to establish a baseline so you could see when anomalies are happening, building up so you could deal with it before hand. Everything i set applies to an extra attack by some group, the estate group or a non street actor and applies to Insider Threat situations. Wherever you come down on manning or ed snowden we can agree the organizations that they are in were not following some basics of good cybersecurity. Manning famously download the massive amount of information about lady gaga. It is not because of his taste for lady gaga that wasnt a good protocol, but because in those cases you had an individual with wideranging access in many ways they shouldnt have had. You had individuals given in some cases passwords by others and the like and you had an anomalous amount of information being gathered and ed snowdens case for example was reportedly using a weapon to do it for him. These are the kind of things, that should pop up as something to look out for not just in a military organization but if you are running of bakery, giving an individual wideranging access. In the course of the job of a person in this role they typically axis these files and this information, why is this person having 100 times that amount of activity, they have been given a new assignment or Something Else is going on. Lets go down and ask them, those of the things that are happening. My broad point is the basics of Cyber Security would apply in a lot of different situations. It would go a very long way to aiding things, whatever the threat you are talking about. By the way you are never going to get 100 security, just like in life so anyone who is telling you if you do just this one thing or this one product or give me and my organization this much more power budget we will solve this problem for you. To go to the earlier question they are taking advantage of you. Taking advantage of the ignorance. Thank you for joining us today. [applause] paperback and recently right.

All of the people involved in the case and the media that reported on that actives unethically at some point. This is an hour and 10 minutes. One of the greatest offenders in my life began three years ago but i did something outside my comfort zone. At the time it seemed like a very small and insignificant act that turned into something really, really important. My adventure has taken me to places i have never been like a hardcore new york state prison. And the swanky wall street law firm where president Franklin Delano roosevelt once practiced law. I have been to a corner cafe in new york city where i met and interviewed a stranger i tracked down on facebook. I have learned more than i ever thought i was capable of learning. I have met people i never would have met and i have gotten to do a lot of really fun things like being here tonight. This is such an honor for me on my campus with my colleagues and students and former students. A real pleasure to be here and i am thrilled to be here. Always these things happen to me because i did one small thing. I asked a question. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you dont know what to do next . You have questions you dont have answers, this could be when your boss gives you a project you are responsible to complete and you are not sure what to do or you are a little lost and not sure what the first step should be or the next step should be. Anyone ever been in that situation . Dont know what to do . It happens to all of us. I have been there many times. Why is it so difficult for us to ask questions . Does anyone know others and me . I hate to ask questions and i hate to ask for help bland i am not really sure why. I dont know if it is because of the selfesteem problem in that i dont think i am worthy of someone elses time . When you ask for help and ask questions of other people you are asking for their most valuable resources, their time, their knowledge, their skills. So you feel like an imposition. I dont know if that is why i and others have a difficult time asking questions and asking for help. I dont know if it is because we feel the need to be polite and it feels impolite to ask others to help us when we are having difficulty. Sometimes i wonder if it might be arrogance. You heard the old adage you want something done right, do it yourself, right . We think we can figure it out all by ourselves and we dont need anyone elses help. And i am right there, probably one of the worst offenders in this category. I dont like to ask for help and i rarely do it but in this case i did reach out and asked a simple question and it led to the largest and most significant accomplishment in my professional career thus far. It is work that i am very proud of and thrilled that i have had a chance to work on and move forward. Of very important goal in my career, very enriching experience. Have you ever had a goal . Did you see the goal but dont know how to get there . I think that is a situation we all find ourselves in in small ways or large ways in our lives and careers, sometimes when we get there it can be paralyzing. You dont know what to do next so you stop. It is easy to report to the scarlet ohara method of problemsolving. We stopped. I wonder how many great ideas have ended at this stage. Got a great idea but dont know what to do with it, dont know what to do next. What i learned over the last three years through the process of researching and writing my book are valuable lessons i think are applicable and usable by everyone in helping that you get to the goals you set for yourself and helping you achieve what you want to achieve for yourself so that is what i want to share with you tonight, what i learned about asking questions, how to ask, when to ask, who to ask and i will share that as i tell you about the process of writing my book taking down the lion the triumphant rise and tragic fall of tycos Dennis Kozlowski. I started working on this project because i had some nagging questions about a case study in my Business Ethics courses. I had been teaching a case study about the Tyco International corporate scandal since the fall of 2005 which is when i began, it was my first semester, talked about the Tyco International corporate scandal. At the time, the criminal trial related that scandal that ended in the summer and the executives who were charged and convicted had to be sentenced. I had been talking about this case from the beginning. For anyone in this room who is a former student of mine, i often have students present case studies in our classes, not because i am lazy. It is good for you to do that. For a few years i had students presenting the tyco corporate scandal case study. This case study focuses on the former ceo of tyco. Man by the name of Dennis Kozlowski. The students present the case study do a great job but i would find myself every semester spending 30 or 40 minutes after students presented saying i dont understand this case. With the facts available in the textbook and other resources i kept looking at it and looking at it and with other Major Corporate scandals like it makes sense of what went wrong, where the bad decisions were made, where the crimes were committed. Much easier to understand but in the tyco scandal like couldnt make sense of it. On its face it didnt make sense to me. Eventually because i found myself real explaining more explaining i didnt understand after the students groups presented the case study i decided to take it back and do it myself every semester so i could say i didnt understand it instead of telling students they dont understand it this was a case that nagged at me for many years. It began as a small New Hampshire company in 1960 doing non glamorous types of work, in the room, in these areas of business or industry, they acquired some brands, Security Systems is the most wellknown tyco subsidiary. The company was a smallcompany group. There was a man who became the ceo and he is the most closely associated person with Tyco International. You might have heard of Dennis Kozlowski. He has been covered broadly by the media. You probably a few you are most familiar with the fact, 6,000 shower curtain, he threw a 2 Million Birthday Party for his then wife for her 40th birth day just off of italy. He flew Jimmy Buffett to the party, 250,000 if you guys are looking into that. These i the fact that most people know about Dennis Kozlowski but there is a lot more significant factor that helped us better understand what happened in this case. Kozlowski grew up with a modest background, in newark, new jersey, at neither his mother nor his father, he was a firstgeneration college graduate. He grew up in four room apartment. He shared a bed room, a they shared a bed and he slept on a pot. You worked from the time he was a child delivering newspapers and worked throughout his life, never stopped working until he was in prison and he worked in prison but a different kind of job. He went to college at seton hall university, lived at home with his parents which some of our students here can relate to, lived with his parents, hated them through college, worked in a pharmacy and played guitar in a band for several years and that is how he paid College Expenses including room and board, adam. And he graduated with a bachelors degree in accounting in 1968. Sounds like he intended to have a career business but he had forgotten a career in business, he wanted to be a pilot. You wanted to fly jets in the military in vietnam in 1968 when he graduated from college, the United States was involved in a war in vietnam. Kozlowski tried to join all the arms of the military and he was turned down by all of them for a variety of reasons, to be a pilot in the air force and the navy, his eyesight wasnt good enough. The army wouldnt take him because of flat feet. He is trying to get into the military during a war and they wouldnt take him. So he went to arizona to do pilot training. He did that for almost a year. When he finally figured out he was never going to get into the military and wasnt going to go to vietnam and fly jets he decided he did not want to be a commercial pilot as a career. Pass up his car, drove across the country, back to his parentss home in newark, moved back in with them and report jobs. He had a couple jobs in new york city with companies you might have heard of, smith corona for those of you who remember what a typewriter is. In 1975 when he was 28 years old head hundred came looking for him and told him about a Company Called tyco. U. N. To intervene with the ceo of tyco and was hired as an internal auditor lowlevel land remembered what his starting salary was because he said his salary by his age. What kind of formula that is. He started with tyco, lowest level, worked his way up the ra
