Privateers at sea were once a common practice. Should private companies and groups today be allowed to 'hack-back' against cyber criminals and governments? Egloff's pathbreaking work makes good use of history and security studies to explore some of the most pressing problems we face in cybersecurity.
Florian J. Egloff is a Senior Researcher in Cybersecurity at the Center for Security Studies (CSS) at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on the role of non-and semi-state actors in cybersecurity, the politics of public attribution, and the use of cyber intrusions for political purposes.
