Please join the San Francisco professional chapter on Thursday, March 2 for a conversation about the future of cybersecurity.

A panel of cybersecurity experts will lead a discussion on a range of pressing questions, including:

• Who should take the lead in providing protection from cyberattacks - business or government?
• How much voice should the private sector have in creating a cybersecurity governance framework and what should it look like? 
• How can individuals and businesses best protect their online privacy when threats come from across the globe and from both state and non-state actors?
