Ivy Plus European Leaders

in partnership with Dartmouth Club of France and IMD Alumni Association

 

is pleased to invite you to a very topical talk

 

Rethinking Cyberwar and Cybersecurity

 

with IT security expert

Doug Mc Lean

Stanford BA, MS, Dartmouth MBA

Global VP at Seculert

 

Thursday May 28, 2015 – 7:00 pm

 

 

 

 

Cybersecurity is a major priority for all governments, companies and individuals.  The information security industry generates a little more than $70 billion per year in revenue and is growing ~10% per year. Nearly all of the growth is driven by the fact that the industry, for the most part, is failing to protect the individuals and enterprises,  enabling the massive data breaches seen at companies such as Target, Sony, Blue Cross and hundreds of other public sector and private enterprises.

 

Cybercriminal gangs are now better funded and more technically sophisticated than many of the companies they target... Recent research indicates that proxy devices supposed to stop malware and virus fail to perform as designed 15-90% of the time.

 

Doug McLean will discuss recent developments against cyber espionage, intellectual property loss, cyber terrorism... and what large enterprises and individuals can do to protect themselves.

 

Doug McLean serves as the Global VP of Marketing at Seculert, a leading IT security company based in Israel and California.  Previously Doug served as McAfee’s Senior Director of Product & Solutions Marketing for Global Threat Intelligence & McAfee Labs, VP of Online Operation and Products at PGP Corporation before its acquisition bySymantec. Earlier, he was the VP of Marketing at Postini, a leading anti-spam service provider since acquired by Google. Doug McLean has also held executive positions in Marketing and Product Development at Apple, Xerox, and Hewlett-Packard. 

 

The talk will be followed by a cocktail reception with champagne

 

Date & Time : Thurday May 28, 2015 – 7:00 pm

Venue: Skadden, 68 rue du Faubourg St.Honoré, Paris 8 (metro Franklin-Roosevelt or Concorde)

Price : Members IPEL, alumni Dartmouth, Stanford, IMD: 20 euros, Guests: 25 euros

by
Lobsang Sangay
Prime Minister of Tibet

Lobsang Sangay is the second most powerful Tibetan leader after the Dalai Lama.Sikyong Sangay, democratically elected, came into the limelight in 2011 when the Dalai Lama decided to abdi

cate political responsibility.  

Born in India, in a refugee community, he is the first Tibetan to have studied at Harvard University, where he obtained his LL.M and doctoral degree in law.

 

Prime Minister Lobsang Sangay will speak on
The Future of Relations between Tibet, the United States and Europe
In February 2015, welcoming the Dalai Lama to the White House, President Obamadescribed him as one “who inspired us to speak up for the freedom and dignity of all human beings.”  A 3rd visit criticized by China.  What can be the relationship between the exiled government of Tibet, the U.S. and European countries?

Discussions will also extend to
The Third Pole and Climate Change. 
The Third Pole (as scientists call Tibet), also known as the Roof of the World, is the water tower of Asia.  Its melting ice threatens the lives of 1.5 billion people, a major topic in view of France hosting the 21st climate conference this year.

===============================================================

 

Ivy Plus European Leaders

is thrilled to extend you a special invitation by one of the most outstanding Stanford faculty members 
Fred Turner

 Director of Stanford Program in Science, Technology and Society
Stanford Associate Professor of Communication & by courtesy of Art and Art History

to his fascinating Talk in Paris

 

The Democratic Surround 
From Counterculture to Cyberculture

 

Professor Turner challenges us to think about the lines between information, entertainment, art and propaganda.  He sheds new light on how our networked culture came to be.  For a generation of historians, the psychedelic sixties explosion of creative energy and freedom represented a direct revolt against the social restraint and authoritarian hierarchy of the early Cold War years. Fred Turner makes a different case and reconnects the immersive, multi-mediated environments of the 1960’s to the decades that preceded them, starting with World War II and the use of media by fascist leaders. In the same vein, he demonstrates how mass communication techniques and computers, which embodied the bleak tools of war propaganda, have come with the dawn of the Internet in the 1990’s to represent a collaborative and digital utopia – “the virtual community” - close to the communal ideals of the hippies.  He shows how important media has become to the design of collective experiences and forms of democratic citizenship. 

 

 

A gr​aduate of Brown, Columbia and UC San Diego, Fred Turner worked as a journalist for over ten years writing for the Boston Phoenix and Boston Sunday Globe, then turned to academia.  He taught Communication at Harvard and MIT before joining Stanford University.  His books include the widely acclaimed From Counterculture to Cyberculture, The Rise of Digital Utopianism, The Democratic Surround: Multimedia and American Liberalism
