Simulated Cyberattack Demonstrates National Security Risks at CyberBay Conference
Over 1,000 attendees gathered at the inaugural CyberBay conference to explore Tampa Bay's growing role in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and national security.
The FBI estimates a nationwide shortage of 700,000 cybersecurity jobs, leaving companies and agencies vulnerable to attack. To illustrate this risk, performers simulated a cyberattack through dance and motion.
Performers represented black-hat hackers, while others embodied white-hat hackers, demonstrating the battle between good and evil in the digital world.
The simulation used LED-lit costumes and laser beams to visualize the invisible world of digital infrastructure, highlighting the importance of addressing cybersecurity threats.
