The push to share new ideas, emerging solutions – and even, potential threats – with the cybersecurity community echoed throughout the two-day conference, hosted by the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research (FICS Research) at UF.
UF President Kent Fuchs, who welcomed more than 230 attendees to the event, addressed the implications of an increasingly connected world.
It is an era in which the world we live in depends on network connections in everything we do, Fuchs explained. The potential for cybersecurity threats continues to grow, and global society needs bold ideas and innovations to address these challenges.
