Tomorrow's world—newly retrofitted with pervasive sensors, micro and nano-operating systems that flood data and instruction to a staggering number of connected people and communities—will transform our relationship to work, education, entertainment, and to each other.

Navigating this next frontier and making policy choices that maximize innovation and social benefits without undermining fundamental security, privacy and liberty is one of the most important challenges of the day.

During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, The Hill will explore fundamental questions about critical infrastructure, data privacy and consumer and business safety, workforce skills, and cyber competitiveness.
