08.29.2025 | The Costs of Cyber Espionage

Part of an ongoing project with the Center’s 'Technology, Security, and The Geopolitics of the Firm' initiative, this session follows up on our discussion of private sector costs with one focused on public sector costs. The roundtable will address the following questions: What types of costs do governments suffer from cyber espionage? Does reputational impact matter to states? What is the role of the state in protecting the private sector when the state is the ultimate target? And how do states interact with one another when dealing with cyber espionage?
