Experts in cyber issues discussed and explored a range of topics to frame the discussion of what could happen in cyber fields along the spectrum from disruptive to positive.  The panel discussed several cyber security issues, including the threat to physical infrastructure,  the logical structure of the internet, the ways in which the public and private sectors must work together to improve security, and the lack of a U.S. Strategic doctrine on cyber security.

Dr. Ben Sheppard, Adjunct Fellow at the Potomac Institute and Senior Associate, Institute for Alternative Futures, led the discussion and provided four different scenarios - ranging from aspirational to desperation -  to fuel discussion.  Other experts providing comment and further challenges or ways to consider the future were Dr. Fred Wright, Deputy Director, Cyber Technologies and Information Security Laboratory, Georgia Tech Research Institute; and Ronald A. Marks, President, Intelligence Enterprises, LLC.  Amb Dave Smith, Potomac Institute Senior fellow and Cyber Center Director, moderated the discussion.
