Keynote speaker and President of U.S. Computer Connection Garry Feldman, says “Awareness is key – the answer is to be pro-active and leverage best practices that help you identify these activities. We provide the tools to keep you pro-active, alert and ready – it’s a part of business continuity planning that cannot be overlooked.”

Feldman is in the news with Rep. Caroline Simmons, D-144 Stamford. Rep. Simmons is helping create a public-private partnership to address rising cyber-attacks to computers and looking for pathways to reduce the vulnerabilities of such attacks.

The public-private partnership looks to advance awareness, provide training and use-case exercises. Although the bill is in primitive form, Rep. Simmons and Feldman are collaborating with other State Representatives providing thought-leadership that creates a best-in-class program that can address such attacks.

Rep. Simmons said “The increasing number of cyber-attacks and sophistication of such attacks demonstrate the need for better cyber defenses. Raising awareness and providing information to businesses and the public on how to defend against cyber-attacks and hacking incidents is critical to our economic security.”

The event will be held at Norwalk’s Hotel Zero Degrees on Monday, March 30th at 12pm. Local and business leaders are expected to be in attendance as expertise will be shared on how to educate, leverage and spread awareness on the cyber security issue.

“The Pentagon, Anthem and huge conglomerates get compromised – no one is exempt but there needs to be awareness. Education on the steps to pinpoint and spot these types of activities is crucial. Being prepared has never been more critical for businesses and the information the­y possess” said Feldman.­
