Ted Koppel Shares What Would Happen After “Lights Out”

10 Mar Ted Koppel Shares What Would Happen After “Lights Out”

Over 200 guests joined Women in Homeland Security, the Government Technology & Services Coalition, and InfraGardNCR for an evening with veteran reporter, Ted Koppel Friday night.  Mr. Koppel discussed his new book, Lights Out, an exploration of the nation’s preparedness for a major attack on the cyber grid.

Mr. Koppel argues that the impact of such an attack is devastating and claims that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security does not have a tangible plan.  He argues for a solid plan and the diversion of some resources to plan for what will be needed if the grid is taken down for a significant period of time.

Numerous WHS members and Board members joined us for a lively discussion and a once in a lifetime experience to meet the gracious Mr. Koppel.
