If you can’t make the trip to Novi, Michigan, the morning sessions will be available via live stream over the Internet by PBS Detroit beginning at 8:30 AM (EST). Click here to access the live stream. The Twitter hashtag for the Friday event will be #cybersummit - with several students and cyber pros tweeting from the event.
In case you are wondering, the Michigan Cyber Summit is not just about technology and cybersecurity activities in Michigan. As part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the focus on this year’s summit is on all the great work being done by the National Governor’s Association (NGA) regarding the recently released Governor’s Call to Action on Cybersecurity.
Back in September, I offered this blog on activities that Governors are currently taking around the country.
Others speakers scheduled to speak at the summit include:
• Congressman Mike Rogers (invited), Chairman, U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
• Roberta Stempfley, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Department of Homeland Security Office of Cybersecurity and Communications
• Cheri Caddy, Director of Cybersecurity Policy Integration and Outreach at National Security Staff, Executive Office of the President
• International Keynote Address by Rami Efrati, Head of Civilian Sector Division, National Cyber Bureau/Prime Minister's Office, Israel
• Major General Gregory Vadnais, Adjutant General, Michigan National Guard and Director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs
