MARQUETTE – The next Michigan Cyber Awareness Breakfast Conference Series is set for Aug. 1 in Marquette at the Ramada Inn.

This breakfast’s featured speakers include:

Jeff Barnes, Executive Director of Public Safety Office of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder

Dan Lohrmann, Chief Security Officer, State of Michigan

Brigadier General Michael Stone, Assistant Adjutant General-Installations

Bill Vajda, City Manager, Marquette

Captain W. Thomas Sands, Commander, Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division

The series serves as a follow up to the Michigan Cyber Summit 2011 hosted last fall by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder. This series provides updates to the Michigan Cyber Initiative designed for Michigan citizens, business and industry. Presentations focus on a comprehensive, forward-looking blueprint to enhance safety and allow for Michigan to reap the economic benefits of the growing cyber security industry.

The State of Michigan will stand as the showcase for a national model in public/private partnerships addressing cyber security. A long time national leader in cyber security, Michigan placed a high emphasis on protecting the state’s computer systems and networks. The Michigan Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MI-ISAC) was established to address the state’s cyber security readiness and critical infrastructure coordination. This centralized technology model within state government placed Michigan in a strong position to implement security efforts.
