The Columbus chapter of the Technology Association of Georgia hosted the Oct. 25 tabletop exercise, part of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., on CSU’s main campus.
“Using real world examples, this event will help employees and individuals mitigate the risks of living in a cyber world,” Dee Spivey, director of information security at CSU, said in a news release.
The event is another example of CSU’s increasing recognition as a source for cybersecurity education. Last year, the National Security Agency and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated CSU as a Center of Excellence in Cyber Defense Education. Also last year, Columbus-based credit card and electronic payment processor TSYS donated $4.5 million to CSU to establish the TSYS Cybersecurity Center and Endowment in the TSYS School of Computer Science at CSU’s Turner College of Business.
