Cross-Cutting Issues in Cybersecurity Series
March 3, 2021
Cybersecurity is a risk management process that identifies, mitigates, and assesses threats, vulnerabilities,
and consequences to computers, computer networks, information and communications technology, data,
digital systems, cyber-physical systems, and users. While cybersecurity threats manifest themselves in
information technology, they raise a host of policy issues that are not just limited to technical concerns.
The CRS Cross-Cutting Issues in Cybersecurity series examines the intersection between cybersecurity
and other policy areas.
This interdisciplinary series will contain two products for each topic: a podcast and a CRS Insight. During
the podcast CRS analysts will discuss matters related to the subject topic. Accompanying each podcast
will be a CRS Insight where documents, programs, and references mentioned during the podcast will be
provided.
This CRS Insight provides a common place to find each podcast and associated Insight. These products
are listed below in order of publication.
