Transforming Cybersecurity II Workshop
Save the Date for August 11
Building on last summer's inaugural workshop, our lunch series, and the ongoing work of the Cyber Energy Center — with support from Pitt Cyber — this workshop takes a next step: moving from identifying challenges to working together through them.
The day will be structured around problems where technology and policy for cybersecurity meet. This workshop is designed to find workable solutions to protect our critical infrastructure using your valuable perspective. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across sectors, we will diagnose root causes, define what real solutions require, and identify credible paths forward.
A full agenda and registration details will follow. For now, please hold the date.
For more information or to be added to the distribution list please contact Tara Rankin.
