2017 – 2018 Events

Cyber Security

September 15-17, 2017– Tempe Campus

Cyber security is a growing field that is in desperate need of attention. This event asked students to help defend some of the ever increasing number of data vulnerabilities. The number of devices that are currently connected to the internet is now greater than the world’s population and servers make up a very small percentage of that number. Instead, there are now ways to infiltrate thermostats, security cameras, vehicles, watches, doorbells, and any device that has connectivity added to it.
