Cybersecurity is about identifying something you want to protect and exercising power in order to preserve it, Tim Stevens says in this, the last of three short conversations about his new book, 'What is Cybersecurity for?'.

In this episode, we focus on cybersecurity’s political dimensions, including interstate competition that could manifest as cyberwarfare, the reasons why the world has not (yet) seen major acts of cyberterrorism, and the ways in which citizens in democracies can get involved in mapping out our cybersecurity future.
