The Offensive Cyber Working Group (OCWG) is a UK-based and academia-led initiative bringing together experts to examine the conceptual, policy and practical implications of cyber conflict and operations. The goal is to generate grounded, informed, timely, and relevant advice for policy and to foster an expert community. The OCWG acts as a facilitator – in conversation with government and industry – for a range of experts, opinions, and perspectives to enhance interdisciplinary understanding.
Activities of the OCWG include:
- A College of Experts: This is intended to drive further discussion on (offensive) cyber operations and policy. This is focused on those who conduct research on, or are based in, the United Kingdom.
- A series of Sub-Working Groups, focused on emergent and topical matters that the OCWG facilitates. These include on ‘cognitive effect’, ‘artificial intelligence systems’, and more.
- Global Challenges in Offensive Cyber: An ad hoc seminar series, by invitation, to speak on topics of importance to them. If you would like to recommend any topic or individuals who you believe would be beneficial, please contact us.
