State Department

Under Secretary Krach discusses global economic security in this May 2020 interview with Bloomberg’s Kevin Cirilli. Krach points out that corporate responsibility is not only social responsibility — it’s also global economic security. Just as the threat to democracy is real and urgent, so is the threat to American businesses. The battleground between democracy and malign regimes is the technological battlefield. Krach discusses the experiences many of his Silicon Valley colleagues have had with the theft of intellectual property by malign states.
