This October Augusta University and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce will partner to host the 4th annual Cyber Georgia conference to the state. The event brings together top experts in the field of cybersecurity from the fields of academia, government, and the private sector to meet, network, and discuss the latest developments and innovations.
This year’s theme is the threat of cyber attacks on health care systems, a pertinent issue in a time where the security of our nation’s digital well-being has never been more in question. Augusta is the perfect host for such an event as the state’s premier public medical school as well as the home of the under-construction Cyber Institute, which will serve as one of the nation’s top cybersecurity hubs when complete.
With speakers including Lieutenant General Vincent R. Stewart, the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Paul M. Nakasone, Commander of the U.S. Army Cyber Command, and former U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss, former vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, all scheduled to appear, the event promises to host some of the world’s foremost experts on the issue of cybersecurity.
Said Georgia Chamber CEO Chris Clark, “We’re really excited to be partnering with Augusta University on this event for a second year in-a-row. Recently in the news, we’ve seen a wave of cyberattacks crippling both big and small businesses. Events like Cyber Georgia are essential when it comes to not only addressing the issue, but finding realistic solutions to preventing the continuation of cyberattacks in the future.”
Cyber Georgia will take place Oct. 12 and 13 at the J. Harold Harrison, MD Education Commons on the university’s Health Sciences Campus. To register or for more information, visit www.cyberga.com.
