The South Coast Cyber Center will hold its third annual Cyber Summit in Beaufort on Monday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 19 at Tabby Place in downtown Beaufort.
The highlight this year will be “Maritime Cybersecurity” with presentations by internationally recognized experts in the field of cyber security as it affects our ports, ships and ability to move goods around the world.
The summit will feature U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, who is chair of the House Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Information Technology.
Brigadier Gen. Will Wilburn, incoming deputy commander of Marine Corps Cyberspace Command will also speak at the event.
Representatives from both FBI Cyber Crimes and the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will provide perspectives on ransom attacks, hacking and the range of cybercrime done across the nation.
“This will be our best summit yet,” South Coast Cyber Center Executive Director Warren Parker said in a news release. “We are going to dig into a lot of the national security issues we face in cyber and have a chance to interact with key players on the state and national stage.”
Chris Cleary, former principal cyber adviser to the Navy, will also be speaking at the two day event.
