U.S. senator, FBI official discuss cybersecurity at Augusta University summit

Government, military, education and law enforcement officials gathered to discuss the importance of effective cybersecurity training during Augusta University’s Cyber Education Summit on Wednesday, discussing their views on how Augusta can become a “major player” in the world of digital security.

The Cyber Education Summit, now in its second year, aims to create a “forum” where Augusta community leaders and experts in the field can plan for how the growing cybersecurity field will affect the city’s future.

Augusta University Director of Cybersecurity Education Initiatives Joanne Sexton said the summit was a “necessity” for Augusta, especially considering the ongoing relocation of the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence to Fort Gordon.

“Let’s face it. Augusta is going to become a national leader in the cyber field and that’s going to considerably affect our growth in the years ahead,” Sexton said. “We as a community need to come together to discuss this shift, and together determine how to best move forward.” For the full article click here
