The WCX Cybersecurity Training and Awareness Seminar:

Promoting and Supporting Cybersecurity Preparedness at the Local Level

A Recognized "Champion" event* for National Cyber Security Awareness Month


Registration will be available onsite at the conference.

This event will bring together industry, academia, government and military to highlight integration of national cybersecurity initiatives with local and regional efforts. It will feature two days of information covering a variety of emerging cybersecurity topics: mobile device security, SCADA and Smart Grid, and mission assurance of tenant military commands in Colorado Springs.

The Western Cyber Exchange (WCX) is a non-profit led, grassroots effort to integrate local and national cybersecurity needs and initiatives. As a demonstration of this local integration and community support, the WCX has secured a valuable separate track that will provide Cellebrite UFED Logical Certification training and certification testing. Cellebrite has agreed to sponsor this valuable training and certification without fee. The WCX is coordinating with law enforcement and local military to deliver this benefit to the community.
