National security is more complex than ever before. The dangerous rivalry between the US and China continues to grow. The Middle East’s balance of power is shifting. And threats to democracy are deepening around the world. Not to mention, the heightened cybersecurity risks due to heightened dangers of hacks and data thefts from the COVID-era’s teleworking and virtual gatherings.  Where do we begin?  In a special edition of Altamar with Johns Hopkins University’s Hopkins at Home, hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by John McLaughlin, former Deputy Director and Acting Director of the CIA and world expert on security to dissect the growing security challenges the US faces over the next decade. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic highlights the new frontier of security threats: cyberthreats in space.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media
