Cyber Summit: Protecting Our Digital Shores

December 7, 2011

National University

3678 Aero Court

San Diego, CA

Cost:  $49 / $35 TSN members / $25 Active Duty Military (or recent vets)

(includes breakfast, lunch & reception)

This one-day conference is based on a simple premise, summed up as follows:

It’s time we all quit “admiring the problem”, quit reorganizing, agree on what’s needed, and collectively DO something about cyber security. 

The Technical Advisory Committee of The Security Network is organizing this event in conjunction with partner organizations. We would like to thank National University and Securing Our eCity for co-sponsoring this community cyber security event. The objective of the day is to begin by envisioning an end state and to finish with a call to action that provides a collaborative framework for moving forward. Through collaborative initiatives such as Securing Our eCity and events such as this, the San Diego community is becoming recognized as a leader in cyber security. The Technical Advisory Committee hopes to hold these Cyber Summits periodically to support San Diego’s position as a leader in cyber security solutions.
