RSVP for "South Korea's Internet Infrastructure: Risks, Idiosyncrasies, and Opportunities"
Tensions between China, the United States, and their respective allies present challenges to East Asian countries, particularly in the cyber domain. One critical issue pertains to the risk to internet infrastructure, the backbone of global communication and commerce. The internet, though decentralized, relies on several key control points that could be targeted during conflicts. Nations with highly nationalized internet infrastructure, such as China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, could disrupt these control points during conflict, causing severe economic and infrastructural damage. What specific vulnerabilities does South Korea’s internet infrastructure face? This event celebrates the launch of a CLTC white paper that answers this question. Join us for a panel discussion Nick Merrill (CLTC), Sanghyun Han (Georgia Tech) and Jenny Jun (Columbia/Atlantic Council), where the panelists will discuss the white paper's findings and the relevance for South Korean and international policymaking.
