Moderator/Co-Host: Ginger Hill, group social media editor, Security Today

Co-Host: Ron Woerner, CISSP, CISM, Director Cybersecurity Studies, Assistant Professor College of Science and Technology, Bellevue University, and recipient of the Air Force Association U.S. CyberPatriot Mentor of the Year award.

Chat Summary: It’s time to stop lecturing about cyber security and transform it into a topic of conversation, a give-and-take discussion, so that an effective battle against cyber malice can wage, and hopefully, win out over cyber criminals. Our perceptions must change; we must take the time to make safety and security into habits when it comes to the cyber world. Join Security Today and Robert Woerner of Bellevue University on a Twitter journey into cyber security with thought-provoking questions and an open discussion.
