David Sanger at the CISS Global Forum

The Centre for International Security Studies, the Sydney Cybersecurity Network and the New York Times in Australia present New York Times national security correspondent and senior writer David E. Sanger in an exclusive appearance discussing his latest book, The Perfect Weapon.

The Perfect Weapon is the startling inside story of how the rise of cyberweapons transformed geopolitics like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes, cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists.

Moving from the White House Situation Room to the dens of Chinese government hackers to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, David Sanger will reveal how the world is coming face-to-face with the perils of this technological revolution. Following his talk, David will be joined by former colleague and New York Times journalist Raymond Bonner for a discussion and audience Q&A, moderated by Professor James Der Derian.

David E. Sanger is national security correspondent for The New York Times and the bestselling author of The Inheritance and Confront and Conceal. He has been a member of three teams that won the Pulitzer Prize, including in 2017 for international reporting. A regular contributor to CNN, he also teaches national security policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
