Life in the Cyber Lane
Social media, like Facebook and Twitter, provides global marketing forums for our businesses and personal access into the lives of our family and friends.  It also provides a very public vehicle for our very private information.  Hear how to successfully interact with social media.  David Etue (Safenet data protection company)

Cyber.  It’s In the Way That You Use It
DoD’s Cyber Crime Center (DC3) leads an annual International Digital Forensics Challenge.

If You Liked It, You Should Have Put a Lock on It
Living in a cyber world requires an awareness of the potential hazards.  Learn the risk areas and easy, effective tips & tricks to make you cybersecure.  Additionally, hear from an AACC student who has developed the” Google Hack Defender.” He will demonstrate how it will make your online searches safer.  Dina Haines (Anne Arundel Community College), Chris Woolwine (AACC Student)

What’s Cyber Got to Do with It?
Regardless of size, most companies have assets that are not generally known to the public, give a competitive edge in the marketplace, and don’t want lost or stolen.  Get critical legal insights about doing business in the cyber arena and identifying trade secrets and other confidential information, conducting background checks, implementing effective non-compete/non-solicitation/non-disclosure agreements and many others topics in this session.  Stephen Stern (Hyatt & Weber law firm)

Hey, Hey. You. You. Get Off of My Computer.
