Description
This panel will focus on questions such as what measures major companies can take, individually or collectively, to prevent, detect, mitigate and halt imminent or in-progress cyberattacks, such as the WannaCry attack, which spread around the globe, infecting over 200,000 computers in more than 150 countries. What else can they do to enhance collective cybersecurity? What resources are available to them? What other resources are needed? What legal protections are necessary and appropriate?

Description
It is difficult to imagine any criminal acts, espionage, or terrorism that does not leave some form of cyber fingerprints. As corporate citizens, to what extent can and should the companies cooperate in supporting criminal, intelligence, and counterintelligence operations? What should their duties be, if any, to combat information warfare conducted by foreign governments or terrorist organizations? What incentives can be created to encourage them? What are the challenges to working collaboratively with the government on these issues? Are compliance regimes necessary and, if not, how should we ensure that companies and the government are able to work together effectively on such issues?
