MURFREESBORO — Organizers of MTSU’s 2015 Middle

private-sector operations protect their operations from online attackers.
The theme
of the summit, presented by MTSU’s Forensic Institute for Research and
Education, is “Safeguarding Identities and Emerging Threats.” The 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
event in the second-floor ballroom of MTSU’s Student Union is open to the
public at no charge.

say this year’s Cyber Summit should be of particular interest to information
technology professionals in federal, state and local government agencies, along
with K-12 and higher education, financial services, utilities, business and law
enforcement agencies.
The summit
will feature discussions on preventing and/or alleviating cyberthreats to
critical infrastructure, “phishing” schemes, risk management and the facts of
security on cloud-based storage.
Speakers
will include representatives from:
· the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Security’s Cyber Incident Analysis Division.
· digital forensics company Stroz
Friedberg.

and Technology.

company.
