Increasingly, cyber security impacts our daily lives. Defending against cyber-attacks is mission critical for businesses, organizations, schools, universities, governments and citizens.  The Pennsylvania State Police are working 24/7/365 to protect Pennsylvanians against all kinds of attacks: existing, new and emerging threats.  The State Police also prosecute civil and criminal cyber-security violations. As a direct result, the State Police are at the forefront in the fight against cybercrime.

To give you the most current information on threats, solutions and prevention strategies, the Monroe Gigabit Project is very pleased to bring two leading experts from the Pennsylvania State Police.
