Organizations, public and private, as well as consumers across the world will face no shortage of cybersecurity challenges in 2019. Ransomware and social engineering cyber threats continue to be at the forefront as they exploit basic human behavior. Many companies have failed to prepare for GDPR and the continued rise of state-sponsored attacks will erode our trust in institutions, enterprises and services. Join us for an evening of lessons learned and insights into what’s down the road as we bring to you cybersecurity subject matter experts in a lively panel discussion. Are you prepared for the cyber threats of tomorrow?

The Inaugural SIMCAC Charity Golf Outing
One of our core principles in SIMCAC is to give back to our community. As part of that commitment, a portion of the proceeds from this golf outing will fund our various Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) partners. Our donations fund programs for young students, high school graduates, and programs to train teachers on educating students in the STEM areas. We have worked diligently to put together a stimulating and focused agenda, bringing together experts, visionaries and professionals from the IT industry. Visit the official event website for more information and registration. About the Venue: Westfields Golf Club
