Christiaan Smits - Head of Public Policy, Cloudflare
Like many other organizations, governments, including in the Netherlands, have not had an easy time recently, with cyber attacks getting stronger and more sophisticated. From intense hybrid warfare to over-reliance on just a few vendors, how should they respond in this fast-changing landscape? Which are particular vulnerabilities for public entities and how can they ensure better resilience? And finally: governments have control over public policy, so what could they do with regulation, to make it safer for themselves?
