CyberCon 2023: A unique mix of critical infrastructure and cybersecurity. [Special Edition]

As we progress in this technological age, both cybersecurity and critical infrastructure continue to be at the forefront of prevention, protection, mitigation, and recovery conversation topics. From a frontline worker to the top of the C-Suite, security is something we all should be aware of and concerned about. The CyberCon event began in 2018 and provides an opportunity to learn more about cybersecurity and critical infrastructure as well as collaborate with fellow security professionals. Dave Bittner recently spoke at CyberCon 2023 at Bismarck State College in North Dakota. While there, he had the opportunity to interview 4 members of the conference planning committee (all past or current chairs of the event) for a better understanding of the event, its focus on a mix of critical infrastructure and cybersecurity, and how the event has evolved over the years.
