Israel will share his experiences and cybersecurity principles he has learned over the course of his career and answer questions about cybersecurity, the threat to the environment, employment in the industry and what the future may hold for this evolving discipline.
On Friday, November 13, Dr. Cheryl Cooper will provide an overview of the cybersecurity environment — vulnerabilities, privacy and information liability, cyber-attacks and counter cyber-measures, the effect of COVID-19 and remote learning, and a look ahead at future cybersecurity challenges. She will also talk about the gap in the number of women and minorities in STEM careers and how to get started in the field for those interested in pursuing a career in cybersecurity.
