CyberBay Conference Highlights National Security and Cybersecurity
Over 1,000 attendees gathered at the inaugural CyberBay conference to explore Tampa Bay's emergence as a hub for cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and national security.
The FBI estimates a nationwide shortage of 700,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs, leaving companies and agencies vulnerable to attack. To illustrate this risk, performers simulated a cyberattack through dance and motion.
- Performers represented white-hat and black-hat hackers, symbolizing good versus evil.
- Laser beams visualized the invisible world of digital infrastructure.
The greatest challenge is that it's difficult to visualize the risk of cyberattacks.
The conference aimed to address this challenge and highlight the importance of cybersecurity and national security.
