Think cybersecurity is just for techies? Think again. Your mobile phone, wearable devices and even your smart refrigerator are capable of being hacked. But researchers from our newly rebranded Technology, Cybersecurity and Policy (TCP) program are working to stop cybercrime before it happens. Learn about the threats that exist, how CU researchers are anticipating and preventing security risks, and how the TCP program is addressing the national shortage in cybersecurity workforce.
Join fellow alumni, faculty, staff and friends for an evening of appetizers, drinks and fun. The panel discussion will begin at 6:30pm with ample time for networking among attendees and speakers before and after. Learn more about our speakers on the event registration pages.ÌýThese events are free to attend.
