The Pardee School's Global Security Speaker Series kicked off in style last week! Jeff Greene, Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity at CISA, provided a compelling overview of today's cybersecurity challenges. Led by our own Professor Jack Weinstein, the event sparked lively discussions on critical infrastructure protection, the evolving "Volt Typhoon" threat, and the crucial role of public-private partnerships in cybersecurity. Students left energized and informed.
