France-Atlanta 2016: Cybersecurity: Transatlantic Innovation & Strategies

The Consulate General of France in Atlanta and the Georgia Institute of Technology will co-present the 7th Annual France-Atlanta, a series of French-American events centered on innovation, from October 12-22, 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia. Activities include a two-day scientific symposium about cybersecurity, co-hosted by the Institute for Information Security & Privacy and Georgia Tech Lorraine.

Cybersecurity: Transatlantic Innovation and Strategies

Vulnerability to cyberattacks, theft, and other threats is as much a personal concern as it is one of national and global security. Ensuring the secure and reliable exchange of information is a critical task and one that the scientific community has been engaged in since the rise of new technologies.

Cybersecurity: Transatlantic Innovation and Strategies is a free, two-day symposium that will enable leading scientists in this field to identify current challenges and to share the results of their research. French and American cybersecurity experts will have the opportunity to come together and discuss the development of new scientific partnerships between the United States and France.

Discussions will focus on privacy and data protection, cryptology and system security, formal methods for security, and the education and training of tomorrow’s cybersecurity scientists. In addition, industry leaders, representatives from innovative start-ups and policy researchers from both sides of the Atlantic will tackle current technology transfer and innovation challenges in this field during a roundtable discussion.
