Wisconsin Governor’s Summit on Cybersecurity is Oct. 27 at UW-Madison

Last year, individuals and businesses in Wisconsin lost more than $10 million in cyber theft. Fighting cyber threats and attacks is important not only for business but also government agencies as well. In August, the State of Wisconsin alone blocked more than 1.4 million suspicious emails daily that entered the state system that could have caused serious harm to the state’s critical infrastructure.

That’s why the 4th annual Wisconsin Governor’s Summit on Cybersecurity brings together leaders in government, industry, business and academic together to discuss strategies to tackle current threats. This year’s summit will be held Oct. 27, at the Gordon Commons located on the University of Wisconsin- Madison campus.

“Once again, the Wisconsin Governor’s Summit on Cybersecurity brings together top experts from across the nation to discuss cyber security issues facing business and government,” says Major General Don Dunbar, adjutant general and Wisconsin’s Homeland Security Adviser. “It will be a great opportunity to learn about the latest threats and develop partnerships.”

Registration for the one-day conference is now open. The Wisconsin Governor’s Cybersecurity Summit is coordinated by the Wisconsin Department of Administration and the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs.
