\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 November 21, 2011- Richard A. Clarke, who previously worked as the deputy assistant secretary of state for intelligence under Ronald Reagan, will speak on Nov. 29 in the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s 2011 Honors Colloquium, which examines the question \u201cAre you ready for the future?\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tClarke will discuss the country\u2019s vulnerabilities to cyberwarfare and how they are likely to evolve in the future at 7:30 p.m. in Edwards Auditorium on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston Campus. The lecture is free and open to the public. <\/p>\n


\nClarke is an internationally renowned security authority with expertise in homeland security, national security, cyber security and counterterrorism. He teaches at Harvard\u2019s Kennedy School of Government and is an on-air consultant for ABC News. In 2010, Clarke was selected as one of The Top 100 Global Thinkers. Along with working under Reagan, he also held high security positions under former presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Clarke also wrote a memoir entitled Against All Enemies: Inside America\u2019s War on Terror- What Really Happened after testifying before the 9\/11 Commission. Cyber War, his most recent book, is the first of its kind dealing with \u201cthe war of our future.\u201d In addition, Clarke has served in the State Department, Pentagon and intelligence community for the past 19 years.<\/p>\n


\nDuring the lecture, Clarke will focus on cyberwarfare issues today and possibilities for the future. The immediacy and capacity of the Internet has made life easier in a variety of ways, but it has also created societal dependence that could be dangerous. The power outages caused in early September by hurricane\/tropical storm Irene and the impatience with those delays illustrates how everyone relies on a highly interdependent and technology-driven system. Although an attack on America that would disable the power grid, causing a prolonged outage, may seem unlikely, many nations are capable of doing it, he said. <\/p>\n


\nThe last program is a group presentation on (Dec. 6) by 56 honors students, who attend a class complementary to the colloquium. Their focus will be \u201cWe Are the Future.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nAll of the lectures will be streamed live at www.uri.edu\/hc, where the complete schedule of events is also listed. For additional information about the 溏心vlog免费B站 Honors Colloquium, contact Deborah Gardiner at debg@uri.edu or 401-874-2382.<\/p>\n
