“On the Brink of Disaster… Is the sky really falling?”

The ETCSS Committee proudly presents the sixth Annual East Tennessee CyberSecurity Summit to be held in beautiful downtown Knoxville, Tennessee October 19 – October 20, 2010. We are once again setting up shop at the Knoxville Hilton to bring you a great program at an affordable price.

In the classic fable, Chicken Little was ridiculed for his claims about the sky falling. This kind of mass hype/hysteria is becoming more prevalent in today’s media with projects like “Cybershockwave.” Are we on the brink of disaster? Is the sky really falling this time? We intend to explore the validity, or invalidity, of claims regarding the vulnerability of the nations critical infrastructures.

The Conference is co-hosted this year by the FBI, UT, Fountainhead College, TVA, TVA-OIG, and ORNL.  InfraGard chapter members, IT professionals in academia, government, law, and private industry from across the region including Atlanta, Nashville, Columbia, and the Raleigh/Durham area will be attending as well.
