NYU-Polytechnic Institute / Sloan Foundation Cyber Security Lectures
With the ever-increasing scale of interconnected information systems, concerns about cyber security dangers and threats expand daily.

Sponsored by the New York-based Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, NYU-Poly’s series of four lectures and panel discussions are designed to raise the visibility of cyber security risks and issues. Internationally renowned cyber security experts are joining together to stimulate collaborative thinking, especially among the New York’s regional businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, academic institutions, media, and the public. Practical and timely, lectures will also focus on possible strategies that address the impact of growing cyber security risks.
