Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security issued a warning that a Beijing based group of hackers -dubbed ‘cloudhopper’ was mounting a potential cyber-attack on American based institutions.


The Chinese government has denied these claims vigorously and stated that China does not support hacking.


So, what is cloudhopper?


What businesses and institutions are most vulnerable?

And does America need to increase its focus on cyber-security and digital threats?


There are a lot of questions – and only a few leading experts who can help explain the situation.


That’s where Cedarville can help.
