Protecting Vulnerable Populations in Cyberspace

How do we better protect our most vulnerable populations from cyber incidents? Michaela leads the conversation and posits that instead of thinking about it as a domain of war, we should use a climate analogy to think about the increasing vulnerability of our digital ecosystem. This could help us understand the disaggregated impacts on different communities and change the way we think about building resilience.
