Foreign Affairs Focus: Cybersecurity & Corporations with Samuel J. Palmisano

Editor Gideon Rose speaks with former IBM Chairman and CEO Samuel Palmisano on the effects of technology on multinational corporations--or, globally integrated enterprises--and on governments. Mr. Palmisano highlights the benefits of the internet--from access to talent and human capital to consumer efficiency--but stresses the need to curb criminal behavior online. He notes that there has to be a balanced, multi-stakeholder approach to protecting both privacy and intellectual property in the digital age.

Mr. Palmisano is the co-chair of a new Council on Foreign Relations task force report on cyber defense. Read it here: http://www.cfr.org/cyber_task_force
