The Cyber and Information Security Consortium, or CISC, and the University of Tennessee’s Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy have partnered together to hold monthly brown bag lunches to hear talks on key topics regarding cybersecurity.

The first official lunch will take place next week in the UT Outreach Center in Oak Ridge.

The second lunch will be held on February 17 in the Toyota Auditorium at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy on UT’s campus.

First lunch

Speaker: Will Overstreet, director of product management, GRIDSMART Technologies

When: Tuesday, January 31, from 12-1 p.m.

Where: UT Outreach Center, Oak Ridge. (1201 Oak Ridge Turnpike, entrance facing Applebee’s, closest to the Quality Inn)

Who: This meeting is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required.

Description: V2X—Autonomous Vehicles—Smart Cities, all forces shaping the future of transportation, and bringing about changes that will impact every living individual and have far-reaching effects across multiple industries.

These new technologies that are being built today rely heavily upon existing technologies and people working in the traffic industry, yet little is being done to prepare the industry for the new threats that will come with this innovation. The question is can we achieve a secure future without first securing our past?

  • The Problem
  • The Growing Risk
  • The Start of a Solution
  • Applying this to Other Industries?
