Among the speakers in attendance were the FBI, Cisco Talos, Michigan State Police, and WMU IT leaders. Speakers discussed the state of cybersecurity from the global perspective, the current impact on higher education, how WMU is preparing for today and tomorrow, and how every member of the community can take steps to protect our professional and personal assets.
