About the Event:
In our highly connected and automated workplaces, cybersecurity is essential across all sectors of the modern economy. The Cybersecurity Across Disciplines (CyAD) Summit, is a unique event designed to serve educators in various fields. Seize the opportunity to explore the intersection of cybersecurity with your specific educational program areas and the Critical Infrastructure Sectors they serve.
This summit brings together community and technical college faculty and industry representatives from diverse disciplines to address cybersecurity challenges in key sectors such as business and critical infrastructure including but not limited to manufacturing, healthcare, retail, engineering, and banking and finance.
The CyAD Summit will explore creative ways to build learning communities that go beyond specific fields of study. These communities help teachers work together and share practical ideas for including cybersecurity in their courses. We'll also share new content like case studies, lessons, and materials that can be easily added to existing classes.You do not need a cybersecurity background to participate.
