How cyber diplomacy is protecting the world from online threats

Just as bank robbers have moved from physical banks to the online world, those fighting crime are also increasingly engaged in the digital realm. Enter the world of the cyber diplomat, a growing force in international relations specifically focused on creating a more just and safe cyberspace.

In season 2 of Patching the System, we're focusing on the international systems and organizations of bringing peace and security online. In this episode, we're discussing the role of cyber diplomats, the threats they are combatting, and how they work with public and private sectors to accomplish their goals.

Our participants are:

• Benedikt Wechsler, Switzerland's Ambassador for Digitization
• Kaja Ciglic, Senior Director of Digital Diplomacy at Microsoft.
• Ali Wyne, Eurasia Group Senior Analyst (moderator)
