Brad Bigelow: “A Layperson’s Guide to Cyber Warfare” U to You Lecture
Brad Bigelow is a retired Air Force officer and former advisor to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Cyber for NATO’S strategic operations command. His talk, “A Layperson’s Guide to Cyber Warfare,” will be Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. at Heritage Hall – Great Falls College MSU.
Virtually every aspect of today’s world is dependent upon cyberspace, and stories about cyber security appear daily. Bigelow’s talk will explain what constitutes warfare in cyberspace and how it fits within the framework of national security and military operations. He will address concerns regarding disinformation and protection of critical infrastructures.
In his talk, Bigelow aims to alleviate fear, uncertainty and doubt that many people feel about the security of the internet and other elements of cyberspace.
Bigelow’s expertise on the subject comes from his experience on the staff of the President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee. He has written and spoken on the subject of cyber security and military cyber operations in the U.S. and Europe.
In collaboration with Missoula College, UM’s College of Business has begun offering a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity.
