“每天都有网络攻击的新闻, 外面有一种恐惧, but it’s causing a ‘security fatigue’ to it all, 因为业务, 政府, and consumer users are overwhelmed and sick of being on constant alert,凯文·鲍尔斯说, founding director of the Woods College 网络安全政策 & Governance program, and a former analyst and attorney for the U.S. 司法部和国防部以及美国国防部.S. 海军. 会议的目标, 他说, was "to highlight why it’s not only in users’ best interests to continue to focus on cybersecurity, 也是为了更大的利益. T在这里 needs to be an all-hands-on-deck approach, as the cyber-threats we face today are not going away anytime soon.”
博纳沃隆塔赞同鲍尔斯的说法. “Most of America’s cutting-edge technology and equipment is found in the private sector: manufacturers, 承包商和学术界. Cyber-criminals continue to exploit these networks to steal information. The FBI is committed to finding the criminals behind these attacks, but we can’t do it alone. Conferences like this will help everyone gain a better understanding of the emerging threats as well as our individual roles and responsibilities in defeating them.”
伍兹学院网络安全政策 & Governance program’s partnership with the FBI is one of more than three dozen 政府al and business ties it has formed during its first full year of existence.

“Our partners collaborate with us by providing guest lecturers, hosting joint panel discussions and networking events, and providing internships and applied research projects to our students,鲍尔斯说。. “It is a true collaborative effort by 政府, industry and academia – with BC taking the lead – to address and mitigate these cyber-threats."
