Excellent work by recent @DukeSanford MPP grad!
Excited to have “Sabotage in the Digital Era” published at @DukeSanford! Thanks to all that helped me, guided me, and put up with my nonsense along the way (looking at you @rogerson and @mkbryantmd). hdl.handle.net/10161/27060 #cyber #Sabotage #policy #NationalSecurity
