The Michigan Cyber Summit 2011, hosted by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, will be the national launch of the October 2011 National Cyber Security Awareness month. This kick-off event is scheduled for October 7th at Eastern Michigan University’s Marriott Eagle Crest Hotel and Convention Center.

The Summit will bring together experts to address a variety of cyber security issues affecting business, education, information technology, economic development, law enforcement and personal use. The State of Michigan has long been a national leader when it comes to cyber security, having placed a high emphasis on protecting the state’s computer systems and networks. The centralized technology model within state government places Michigan in a strong position to implement security efforts. In addition, the Michigan Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MI-ISAC) was established to address the state’s cyber security readiness and critical infrastructure coordination.

The State of Michigan is a showcase for a national model for public/private partnerships addressing cyber security for its residents. The Summit is a partnership between all levels of government, including local collaboration from groups such as the Washtenaw County Cyber Citizenship Coalition, State of Michigan Office of the Governor, US Department of Homeland Security-National Cyber Security Division, and many private partners. The agenda for the event will feature recognized speakers and experts from around the country. National-level speakers will be providing solutions during the following five featured tracks:
