Time: 4:00 - 6:00 pm The first Great Debate of the Texas Lyceum's 2010 year kicks off with a discussion of online security and whether or not our personal information is safe. We are excited about the partnership with KLRN to film the debate for production and distribution to other PBS stations throughout Texas.

The backdrop of the conference will be San Antonio and its growing cyber security industry. Acknowledging that San Antonio is becoming an emerging center of computer security activity, the United States Air Force is currently locating its 24th Air Force Cyber Command at the city’s Lackland AFB. All speakers are confirmed unless otherwise noted.
