Recently-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for National Security at DOJ, John Carlin, will give an address at Brookings on Thursday afternoon entitled “Tackling Emerging National Security Threats through Law Enforcement.” Carlin's keynote address on cybersecurity at American University's Washington College of Law ran as a recent episode of the Lawfare Podcast. It will be especially interesting to hear from him in light of yesterday's indictment against Chinese officials for cyber espionage. Ben will introduce and moderate the event, the details of which are below:
National security threats to the United States continue to evolve. How is the Department of Justice adapting to this evolution in the threat picture? Even as countering terrorism and protecting the nation’s security remain the Department’s top priority, how is the Department addressing the new types of threats that are emerging? One of the Government’s tools to combat these threats is law enforcement, including both investigation and prosecution.
On May 22, Governance Studies at Brookings will host John Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice, for a discussion of how the Department is adapting and responding to the changing threat picture. Mr. Carlin will address, in particular, the role of the National Security Division in tackling emergent threats such as those in cyber space. Register to attend in person or to watch the webcast.
