Trusted CI Hosts the First Regional Cybersecurity Summit at the University of Alabama

Last month, Trusted CI partnered with the University of Alabama to host the first Regional Cybersecurity Summit in Tuscaloosa. The two-day agenda (April 21st - 22nd) was modeled off our Annual Summit, with a focus on inviting a group of attendees located in the southeastern region of the US.

The two days of content were split between workshops and a poster session on day 1, and a plenary session of talks and panel discussions on day 2. Highlights on day 1 include training sessions on: security log analysis, Zeek network security monitoring software, software security, security tabletop exercises, quantum machine learning, and a Scholarship for Service panel. The day ended with a welcome reception and poster session. 

Welcome to Our New Advisory Committee Members!

In support of our expanded mission, Trusted CI is thrilled to welcome Damian Clarke, Ph.D. and Manish Parashar, Ph.D. to the Trusted CI Advisory Committee. Dr. Clarke rejoins the Advisory Committee after 2 years serving as special advisor to the program. His experiences in leadership positions at universities and university consortia, particularly in the U.S. Southeast, will be particularly valuable to Trusted CI as it works to further engage with institutions of higher education to determine how best to address the cybersecurity requirements of research security. Dr. Parashar brings a wealth of experience related to national cyberinfrastructure and artificial intelligence. We look forward to his input on our new AI initiatives and helping to define our future strategy to support the community with the secure use of AI technologies.

In addition to Drs. Clarke and Parashar, we wish to express our gratitude to the entire Advisory Committee for the guidance they provide and for sharing their time and insights to maximize the value of Trusted CI’s programs to the communities we serve.
