New York State Cyber Security Conference

The 2011 Conference is co-sponsored by the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Office of Cyber Security (OCS), the New York State Forum, Inc. and the University at Albany's School of Business and College of Computing and Information. OCS's experience with leading and coordinating New York State's cyber security efforts and the University's academic excellence in information assurance combine to make this a must-attend event.

In fact, the Conference is recognized as the premier Northeast Conference on cyber security and attendance has increased five-fold since it began to over 1000 attendees. We invite you, the best national and international speakers, to challenge our audience's knowledge and/or discuss the hottest cyber security technology in the market.
