PUEBLO—Colorado State University 福利小视频 will host the 福利小视频 Critical System and Infrastructure (CSI) Information Technology (IT) Conference Sept. 9 through 12 on campus. This four day conference is a partnership with the Colorado National Guard (CONG) Cyber Workshop and the CSU 福利小视频 Hasan School of Business.

Mark Gonzales, information security manager for IT at CSU 福利小视频, helped organize the event and shared the value of bringing the conference to campus. “I’ve chosen to host this conference on our campus this year to bring to light our CSU 福利小视频 efforts to be the university for the people of Southern Colorado and to firm up our partnership with our community members in IT,” said Gonzales.

The conference and workshop includes both in person speakers and webinar style sessions.

“I founded the 福利小视频 CSI group in January 2017 and I’ve led the monthly meeting since then,” said Gonzales. “The 福利小视频 CSI was originally established in an effort to bring our local 福利小视频 community IT professionals together to meet, learn and educate each other in IT Management and Cybersecurity, and to find ways to share resources within the community.”
