In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, host Rob Aragao sits down with Betsy Cooper, Director of the Aspen Policy Academy. Betsy shares how the Academy is helping to train cybersecurity professionals to effectively engage with and influence public policy. They discuss the importance of civic engagement, the need for technical voices in policymaking, and how the Academy fills a critical gap by offering accessible, actionable training for both experts and everyday citizens. Real-world success stories—including efforts to improve scam reporting tools for older adults and developing cybersecurity baselines for medical devices—highlight the Academy’s impact. Betsy also introduces a new initiative focused on cyber civic engagement to empower communities across the country.

It's 5 years since Reimagining Cyber began. Thanks to all of our loyal listeners!
