Awareness Working Session
This is a working session. Formal presentations will be limited to brief openings. Please roll up your sleeves and come prepared to contribute your challenges, your knowledge, your suggestions, your resources, and your energy.
With all our advanced technological tools, the “human factor” still remains the weakest link in the cyber security chain. How can we improve user awareness to influence behaviors? Is a national initiative needed?
Come to the table with your peers to help set NY Metro InfraGard’s direction for Cyber Security Awareness.
