Dr. Lior Tabansky offers a unique cybersecurity grasp, combining a Political Science Ph.D., business experience in formulating cyber strategies, and 15 years of IT-pro work. Dr. Tabansky is the Head of Research Development of Tel Aviv University’s Blavatnik Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center, where he leads two research projects:

1.   PROGRESS: Promoting Global Cyber Resilience for Sectors and Societies.
Leveraging the science of networks and complex socio-technical systems, the new Cyber-Capability Maturity Model analyses a sector of the economy as a whole. Moreover, the expert-led assessment results in actionable ‎ Progression Paths tailored for the sector. Large-scale sustainable development projects adopt the PROGRESS model for cross-border Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP.)

2.  Hostile Influence Operations via Social Media: evidence from Western-Russian encounters. The research focuses on the gaps in assessing the presumed effects on behavior.
Lior’s doctoral dissertation uncovered the failed peacetime defense adaptation, which exposed nations to cyberattacks on strategic homeland targets.

“Cybersecurity in Israel,” Lior’s 2015 book co-authored with Professor Isaac Ben-Israel, is the first comprehensive “insider” account of decades of Israeli cyber policy and its origins. 
 

With degrees in engineering, economics, and comparative complex organization systems /political science, Dr. Chris C. Demchak is the US Naval War College’s Grace M. Hopper Chair of Cyber Security and Senior Cyber Scholar, Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute (CIPI) – formerly the Center for Cyber Conflict Studies (C3S) which she co-founded and directed.

Her research and many publications address global cyberspace as a globally shared, complex, insecure ‘substrate’ underlying the critical organizations of digitized societies, creating ‘cybered conflict’ and a resulting, rising ‘Cyber Westphalia’ of sovereign competitive complex socio-technical-economic systems (STESs), and inducing an urgent survival need for a ‘Cyber Operational Resilience Alliance’ (CORA) among advanced democratic allies. Demchak takes a systemic approach in focusing on emergent systems, comparative institutional evolution with emerging technologies, adversary/defensive use of systemic cybered tools and artificial intelligence, virtual worlds/gaming for strategic/operational organizational learning, and in modeling systemic resilience (‘cybered conflict model’) against normal or adversary imposed surprises that disrupt or disable largescale national systems.

Having studied the LISP programming language - as well as serving as a military officer, she has taught international security studies and management, comparative organization theory, enterprise information systems, and cybersecurity for international/ national security issues.

Recent articles include “The Four Horsemen of AI” (in Wright, ed. AI, China, Russia, and the Global Order, 2020) and “ ‘Sea-hacking’ Sun Tsu: Deception in Global AI/Cybered Conflict and Navies” (Tangredi, ed. AI at War, forthcoming 2021). Recent books include Designing Resilience (2010 co-edit); Wars of Disruption and Resilience (2011); and two manuscripts in production tentatively entitled Cyber Westphalia –States, the Rise of Great Systems Conflict, and Collective Resilience;  and Cyber Command: Organizational Experiments for Great Systems Conflict.
