General Michael Hayden on Threats Foreign and Domestic – Part One

Posted: November 4th, 2018

By General Michael Hayden

General Michael V. Hayden is a retired four-star General in the United States Air Force; he served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2006-2009 and as Director of the National Security Agency from 1999-2005.

As a best-selling author and television commentator, General Michael Hayden (ret.) has been vocal about the threats he sees – both foreign and domestic.  The former head of the CIA and NSA (and member of The Cipher Brief’s Board of Directors) has famously said at The Cipher Brief’s Annual Threat Conference – that the world has been more dangerous – but never, has he seen it more complicated.

General Hayden sat down with Cipher Brief CEO & Publisher Suzanne Kelly to talk about the most serious issues with far-reaching consequences, including the murder of Washington Post Journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Iran’s bad behavior, Russia’s grand strategy and the private sector taking a more aggressive posture in cyber.

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
