The next global crisis won’t come from a battlefield - it will strike through a line of code. In this eye-opening TEDx talk, Sanjana Rathi unpacks the urgent need for cyber diplomacy in a world where ransomware shuts down hospitals, ships lose their GPS at sea, and cars are hijacked from miles away.With experience spanning cybersecurity, law, and international relations, she reveals how outdated systems are failing ordinary people - like a dock worker in Durban - and why the future demands a new kind of diplomat: one who can speak the languages of code and country."This is not a tech problem. It’s a human problem. And it’s time we evolve to meet it." Sanjana Rathi is the founder of The CyberDiplomat, operating at the intersection of cybersecurity and international relations. With degrees from LSE and Tel Aviv University, she merges technical expertise and strategic insight to tackle global cyber threats. A certified drone pilot and artist, she brings creativity to complex digital diplomacy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
