Michigan Cyber Summit, National Cyber Security Month Oct. 2011

10-7, The Washtenaw County Cyber Citizenship Coalition in conjunction with Governor Synder, Homeland Security, The White House Cyber Security Director, Ic3, Google, AT & T, Comcast, Microsoft and all of our state and national partners hosted a full day of  presentations, panel discussions, and networking about all facets of cyber security. Our website http://washtenawcybercoalition.org/ has information about the conference, resources for businesses, families, and schools.

The national theme "Stop,Think, Connect" was repeated throughout the day and the threats of virus, trojans, and mailware is real with every site visited on the Internet and or downloaded. This national theme has PSA's, and wrist bands and more that are available for your community use.

I will be providing  Internet safety  tips for the next several posts from the presenters with links and information that can be used for prevention practitioners, schools, and families. I had an opportunity to spend time with Jacqueline Beauchere, Director of Trustworthy Computing, Microsoft Corp and National Cyber Security Alliance Board Member from Microsoft and she provided me with a website link (www.microsoft.com/security) that has resource materials for download, PDF files and more available for all interested in cyber security.  Look for more resources and details. Bookmark our Washtenaw County site for updates and resources.
