The day-long event is part of the FCC’s ongoing effort to promote awareness of 
cybersecurity threats and solutions in partnership with industry and others in the public sector. 
Given America’s growing reliance on mobile technology, and the importance of America’s

computing and security technologies will be available from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.  In addition to

cybersecurity plans, available at FCC.gov/cyberplanner.
