I've spent most of the last 35 years focusing on cyber-resilience, cybersecurity and so forth. That's taken me down all the paths globally, in nation states, organizations and all kinds of conflict spaces.
In the last seven years, I've been focusing on supply chain security. I've been chairing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security supply chain information-sharing working groups, talking with a global cohort on how we can get trust across supply chains in the world we're in and not just with current events. It's getting fractally more complicated.
What we see in social media or what we call social media is similar to what we see in other infrastructure. There's a level of immaturity that does not yet hold the reality of the relationships that we express in business and in this context, in civil communities and so forth.
My view and our view is that all these issues need to be solved locally, and we finally have the tech and so forth to do that. We ended up with centralized control with Google and all these big things, not because that's the way the Internet was intended to be built but because that's what worked at the time. I think we're fortunate that a number of technical evolutions are coming together at about the time we really need to take it away from the cloud and put it in the local community.
