Did You Get the Memo?

Part of the government's push to tighten cybersecurity is to educate the public and to increase awareness - like federal agencies did to boost the use of seat belts and the "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" campaign.

Purdue University seems to have received the memo. It's organizing a panel discussion on "Our Shared Responsibility" for cybersecurity. The discussion is scheduled for Oct. 20.
