Please join BENS members and guests for a luncheon discussion on information warfare with Brian Murphy, former Department of Homeland Security Acting Under Secretary for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis and currently Vice President for Strategic Operations at Logically.
The US Air Force Air College defines Information Warfare as any action to Deny, Exploit, Corrupt or Destroy the enemy’s information and its functions and to protect yourself against those actions and exploiting our own military information functions. Brian Murphy will discuss information warfare, how an enemy might use it strategically to weaken an opponent and tactically to prepare the battlefield, and provide real life examples of how it is being used geopolitically around the world today.
