“Improving Cybersecurity Awareness in Underserved Populations” highlights how ‘underserved’ residents in San Francisco—including low-income residents, seniors, and foreign language speakers—face higher-than-average risks of being victims of cyber attacks. The report was authored by Ahmad Sultan, a recent graduate of UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy, who partnered with officials from the City and County of San Francisco to study the cybersecurity awareness of underserved citizens.

The 2018 Annual Report highlights many of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity’s achievements from the year 2018, a year that saw the launch of Citizen Clinic, the world’s first public-interest cybersecurity clinic, as well as a year-long collaboration with the World Economic Forum focused on the future of cybersecurity.

Authored by Jessica Cussins Newman, Research Fellow with the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC), this paper “Toward AI Security: Global Aspirations for a More Resilient Future,” introduces a new framework for global artificial intelligence (AI) security alongisde an analysis of government strategies from around the world, including the US, China, France, and India. The report highlights significant divergences between government approaches to the security implications of AI, but also identifies numerous synergies that can be leveraged to support global coordination.

Produced through a collaboration between the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC), CNA’s Institute for Public Research (CNA), and the World Economic Forum’s Global Centre for Cybersecurity (C4C), this report includes a set of four scenarios depicting possible futures that could result from the rise of artificial intelligence, ubiquitous sensors, quantum computing, divergent internet regulations, and other trends. The project team convened a series of workshops in seven international cities to engage experts and decision-makers in dialogue about the challenges and opportunities the scenarios depict. The report provides an overview of key findings, as well as the full scenarios themselves.

The 2017 Annual Report highlights different areas of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity’s operations from 2017, including our research and thought leadership, education, collaboration and strategic communication, and continuing organizational development.

The UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC) has released a report focused on the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity in sports, with an emphasis on the Olympic Games. The report, “The Cybersecurity of Olympic Sports: New Opportunities, New Risks,” is an unprecedented look into how the proliferation of new…

CLTC produced a white paper detailing the concept for a “Cyber Workforce Incubator” that would enable top technologists from Silicon Valley to work for the federal government for one- or two-year terms. Through this program, technology professionals would receive fast-tracked security clearances, and would be able to work for the Department of Defense and other agencies while remaining on the West Coast, where they can remain tapped in to the culture and innovations of the tech industry.

“The Chamonix Manifesto: Transatlantic dialog on the impact of the rise of global intermediation platforms” was written by the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity’s Steve Weber, Betsy Cooper, and Jesse Goldhammer, along with Frédérick Douzet, Chair of Cyberstrategy at Paris 8, and Stéphane Grumbach, Senior Scientist at INRIA. The purpose is to clarify key issues surrounding intermediation platforms, digital services that directly connect consumers and service providers, and that have sparked controversy—particularly in Europe—as a threat to the “digital sovereignty” of governments.
