The Society of Manufacturing Engineers, San Diego Chapter kindly invite you to attend a virtual event titled: “Cybersecurity in Manufacturing”. Gone are the days where cybersecurity is considered a function of the IT department only. The threats we face today require for everyone to be aware of risks we meet at all levels of our organizations, internally and externally. This event will be virtual on Wednesday, October 13th from 5:00 – 6:30 pm (Pacific Time). This event is in collaboration with San Diego & Imperial Community Colleges and the East County Economic Development Council (ECEDC).
Who is this event for?
- Technicians, engineers, technical sales professionals
- Educators (high school, college, university)
- Students (high school and college)
- Anyone interested in “why cybersecurity is important in manufacturing?”
We’re honored to have the CEO of The Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII), Dr. Howard Grimes, as our keynote speaker (his bio below).
