Welcome back to the Community Podcasts, a mini-series on the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable podcast. Joining me again as our co-host for this series is Anastasiya Kazakova, a Senior Public Affairs Manager who coordinates global cyber diplomacy projects at Kaspersky.
As a reminder, the Community Podcasts is a short series of
podcasts featuring frank cyber diplomacy conversations with
cyber-heroes who unite people despite everything – growing
fragmentation, confrontation, and cyber threats – there are people
who build communities and unite people to work together for the
common good. Why are they doing this? And are their efforts
working?
For our 4th episode, by Allison Pytlak, the Program Manager for
Reaching Critical Will. Reaching Critical Will is the disarmament
program of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
(WILPF), the oldest women’s peace organization in the world.
Reaching Critical Will works for disarmament and arms control of
many different weapon systems, the reduction of global military
spending and militarism, and the investigation of gendered aspects
of the impact of weapons. Allison contributes to the organization’s
monitoring and analysis of disarmament processes and its research
and other publications, as well as liaises with UN, government, and
civil society colleagues.
Over the course of our conversation, we discuss the importance of gender in the international cybersecurity landscape, working with the UN, what the future holds for her and WILPF and more.
