Addressing cybersecurity is a reality that organizations constantly face. However, the worst thing executives can do is just trust it is being covered. In the face of ever-growing threats, the best weapon is education.

Sponsored by The University of Tulsa’s College of Engineering & Computer Science’s Continuing Education for Science & Engineering (CESE) Department; the CYBERSECURITY CONVERSATION LUNCHEON, better known as “Cyber Bytes”, is designed with the goal of raising cyber security awareness and what can be done to help businesses and organizations avoid potential threats and attacks while keeping data safe.

The luncheons feature presentations to address concerns, answer questions, discuss best practices and explore what’s happening now (new threats, new trends in stopping these threats, etc.). They emphasize what everyone needs to know about current key cyber security issues and management…going beyond the latest buzz words and security products to include a focus on cyber security’s devastating impact on organizations, vendors, and customers. No longer an exclusive problem entrusted only to the IT department, cyber security now demands the attention of C-Suite Executives, General Counsels, and others advising the organization.
