David Sanger

Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes, cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists. Everyone is a target, and ordinary Americans are often the collateral damage.

We live in a new era of constant cyber conflict, as nations use cyber sabotage, misinformation, and fear to gain advantage and exercise power. But it is unlike the Cold War, or any conflict familiar to Americans.

Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, White House and National Security Correspondent, and senior writer for The New York Times, David E. Sanger is known for his extensive research and in-depth investigations into the complex events of our time. 

Sanger is one of the nation’s most lucid geopolitics, globalization, and cyber power analysts. He is a National Security and Political contributor for CNN and an often-seen guest on shows like CBS This Morning, Face the Nation, and PBS. In 2020, Sanger was executive producer for the HBO documentary based on The Perfect Weapon. The documentary, which premiered in October 2020, explores the past decade of cyber conflict, as the primary way nations now compete and sabotage each other. It anticipated some of the fights over the 2020 elections and the terrifying “SolarWinds” attack on the government and the private sector’s softwares. 

THIS EVENT WILL BE LIVE AND IN-PERSON AT SPRINGFIELD SYMPHONY HALL. Please note: All attendees will be asked to wear face coverings while in the building.
