Cybersecurity in the Modern Age -- Apr 7 Twin Cities Breakfast & Webinar

 Registration is closed for this event
Preface: reflecting our desire to return to in-person events -- and PEN's vision of transitioning to a hybrid format that rotates the in-person host location -- our March 24 discussion will serve as a pilot, with a small in-person audience in the Twin Cities and the majority of attendees participating online throughout our four-state region. For those online, we're working to provide a similar experience to what you've come to expect the last couple of years -- high quality content delivered in an efficient, convenient, accessible and interactive format.  For those participating in-person, our audience will be extremely limited (20 people for this first session), so first-registered-first-served!  And we will be abiding by the COVID protocols described below. We appreciate our members' understanding, support, and flexibility through these last two years, and we look forward to learning along side you all as to what provides "the best of both worlds" with future hybrid events.

Digital threats are real, and cyber attacks -- against organizations and us as individuals -- are increasing.  So the need for us to protect what is often considered our most precious asset -- information -- is also growing, both in a professional and personal setting.

The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence and the St. Paul Area Chamber — is pleased to host a hybrid discussion on Thursday, April 7: “Cybersecurity in the Modern Age.”  We are excited to feature Dr. Faisal Kaleem, professor of Computer Science and Cybersecurity at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, as the discussion facilitator.

Cybersecurity is the application of technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from cyber-attacks. It aims to reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and protect against the unauthorized exploitation of systems, networks and technologies. This discussion will explore how we all can better prevent, recognize and respond to cyber threats on both business and personal levels.  No IT experience is needed: this discussion is for all of us!

This session is Thursday, April 7 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional networking and mingling 7:45-8:00, both online and in the room). In person location: Metropolitan State University, 700 E. 7th Street, St Paul MN 55106.  Online link provided at registration. Free for PEN/WCPE members; $20 for non-members (both online or in person).

For those attending in person, please join us after the event for a tour of the MN Cyber Range located on the Metropolitan State University campus!
